Not even the last-place team in the Sun Belt Conference standings could help end UALR’s struggles.
The UALR men’s team went cold from the field in the second half to squander a halftime lead and lost 68-52 to Louisiana-Monroe on Monday night at Fant-Ewing Coliseum in Monroe, La. It was the Warhawks’ first victory in conference play this season.
It was UALR’s fourth consecutive loss in the building — even last year’s team that finished 30-5 overall lost at Louisiana-Monroe. But it was also UALR’s third consecutive loss, its first three-game losing streak since the final three games of Coach Steve Shields’ tenure in 2015.
