CHALK TALK The Trojans are looking to bounce back from a Wednesday night loss to Louisiana Tech in which the Bulldogs scored 24 points off 19 turnovers.
Considering UALR’s youth in the backcourt, that might be a common occurrence this season. Because of that, UALR needs to shoot better than the 30.4 percent it shot Wednesday for any chance against Ole Miss today.
