The last time Little Rock traveled to Charleston, Illinois, the Trojans were bounced from the OVC Championships by the top-seed and host Eastern Illinois Panthers. This weekend, the teams meet again in Groniger Arena, but the landscape is a bit different. With four games to go, Little Rock is still very much in the mix for the league's regular season title, while EIU is trying to avoid being left out of the mix altogether.
Little Rock (15-12, 10-4 OVC) and Eastern Illinois (7-15, 3-9) meet Friday and Saturday in the Trojans' final road series of the regular season, having already clinched a spot in the OVC Championships later this month, and just a game out of the top overall seed.
