CONWAY, Ark. – Little Rock regrouped from a sluggish first half, outscoring Central Arkansas 46-30 in the second half and holding the Bears to just 13 total field goals, earning the 76-56 win at the Farris Center Sunday afternoon.
The victory snaps a three-game skid to the rival Bears and earns the Trojans four points in the Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield Governor's I-40 Showdown.
"I thought today this team really embodied my philosophy of basketball and came up big defensively," said head coach Darrell Walker. "We struggled offensively at times, but our defense gave us a larger margin for error.
