Trojans getting healthier

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock's men's basketball team is nearly at full strength.

And with Sun Belt Conference play beginning tonight against Louisiana-Monroe (7-5) at Fant-Ewing Coliseum in Monroe, La., that's good news.

Players have recently returned from injury or will in the near future, finally allowing first-year coach Darrell Walker to use all of his assets. Jaizec Lottie, the Trojans' starting sophomore point guard, should also return weeks ahead of schedule from a fractured finger.

"And then we'll be ready to go," said Walker. "Full strength, for once."

Lottie was originally expected to miss six weeks with a broken finger he suffered in 26 minutes of UALR's 99-89 loss at Memphis on Dec.
