CONWAY -- UALR isn't playing defense to Coach Wes Flanigan's satisfaction, and he says the Trojans' lack of depth makes the offense inconsistent, too.
But they still have five seniors, and that was enough to outlast Central Arkansas in a back-and-forth 89-87 victory in overtime Tuesday night at the Farris Center.
The Trojans made six of their first eight shots to jump to a 13-1 lead, only to see it disappear and become a 25-25 tie later in the half. Then, UALR sprinted to a 60-50 lead early in the second half before the Bears took a lead with 14 consecutive points.
