Arkansas Little Rock at UL Monroe

Arkansas Little Rock defeated Georgia Southern 78-66 last Thursday as Nikola Maric scored a team-leading 24 points and Marko Lukic added 15 points for the Trojans, who held the Eagles to 2 of 12 on 3-pointers. UL Monroe has lost two straight following a 77-69 defeat at Appalachian State on Saturday even while shooting 53 percent from beyond the arc. The Warhawks previously had won six in a row, but against some weak competition. The underdog has covered 11 of the past 16 meetings and the Trojans have four scorers averaging double figures led by Maric with 14.5 points per game. Little Rock had some question marks in the backcourt coming into the season, but Isaiah Palermo (12.4 ppg) and Marko Andric have stepped up to help in that situation. Play Little Rock.
