Comments on: Trojans falter at home against final non-conference opponent http://ualr.edu/forum/index.php/2012/12/18/trojans-fall-at-home-against-final-non-conference-opponent/ The University of Arkansas at Little Rock's student newspaper Thu, 16 May 2013 15:52:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: magicorg http://ualr.edu/forum/index.php/2012/12/18/trojans-fall-at-home-against-final-non-conference-opponent/#comment-2156 magicorg Thu, 20 Dec 2012 08:14:25 +0000 http://ualr.edu/forum/?p=15098#comment-2156 Gus Leeper, the 6-9 forward from Austin, Texas, was a big reason why UALR made a four-game sweep through the Sun Belt Conference Tournament last March and made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 21 years. UALR coaches were excited for this year’s prospects with him playing a full season, but Leeper suffered a knee injury playing basketball during the summer and required surgery. All those hopes about the lanky forward will have to be put on hold a year now. The one positive is that newcomer Will Neighbors, a sophomore transfer, brings a lot of the same physical tools that Leeper has: length, good shooting ability, and maybe even better athleticism to play all over the floor.
