Neither club plays much defense, but Troy has the edge offensively and has been very competitive all season. Troy has lost six of their last ten, but four were by four or fewer and the other two by five and six points. Arkansas-Little Rock has won just three of their last eight games and is 1-2 in their last four home games. They may also be without Forward Lis Shoshi who has missed the last two and is listed as questionable for tonight’s game.
