Arkansas Little Rock at Western Kentucky

The Trojans finished second to the Hilltoppers last year, but have all five starters back and are ready to make a run. They are off to a good start at 9-4 which includes a win over Creighton, and a road-seasoning loss at Memphis by just eight points. Western Kentucky lost its guard tandem from last year's NCAA tournament team, and those departures not only cost them in terms of experience, but 35 ppg as well. Trojans feature a sharp-shooting backcourt of Moore and Mouzy - both dialing it up from long distance at over 41%. The Trojans have revenge in mind for a 15-point loss here a year ago and have the experience and skill to at least hang tough here. Arkansas Little Rock gets the call.
