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.

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.
