The last time UALR women's basketball Coach Joe Foley led a team with this short of a rotation, he won a national championship.
That was in 1992 with Arkansas Tech, University, when Foley used six players to win five games in six days to earn the first of back-to-back titles in Russellville.
This season, Foley's Trojans have had three players opt out -- first with juniors Bre'Amber Scott and Brianna Crane in January, then sophomore Alayzha Knapp last week -- leaving a roster of nine and a core rotation of six that features only two seniors.
Despite the defections, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has won seven of 10 games, and Foley is beginning to see similarities between these shorthanded Trojans and his 1992 champions.
