Not long after his Trojans pulled away late for a 77-59 victory over Southwest Baptist in Thursday night's home opener, University of Arkansas at Little Rock Coach Darrell Walker strolled into the media room, took a swig from a cold bottle of water and offered an unapologetic summation of his emotions.
"I feel like I freaking played tonight," Walker said, sarcastically. "And I shouldn't be feeling like that."
UALR (2-1) watched a 14-point first-half lead evaporate, as Southwest Baptist closed on a 21-2 run to lead 37-32 at the break. But the Trojans slowly chipped away in the second half before finally overwhelming the Bearcats late.
