EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- Arkansas-Little Rock men's team extended its winning streak to 10 games and advanced to today's championship game of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament with an 82-57 semifinal victory over Western Illinois on Friday night at the Ford Center.
With a win in tonight's championship game, the Trojans will clinch the OVC's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. It would be UALR's first bid since 2016.
UALR will face Morehead State in the championship game today at 7 p.m. Central. The game will be televised on ESPN2.
Khalen Robinson and DeAntoni scored 16 points apiece to lead all scorers. Robinson was also solid on the defensive end, picking up a pair of steals and playing a big role in holding Western Illinois leading scorer, point guard Ryan Myers, to 3-for-15 shooting and 12 points.
