If Little Rock advances to the second round of the tournament, the Trojans will play the winner of the game with No. 6 University of South Florida and No. 11 Buffalo on Monday.

This will be Little Rock’s fifth trip to the NCAA Tournament. Little Rock has posted two NCAA Tournament victories over the years with the last coming as the No. 11 seed against No. 6 seed Texas A&M in 2015 when it knocked off the Aggies 69-60. Little Rock then fell 57-54 to No. 3 seed Arizona State in the second round.

Prior to that, Little Rock’s first NCAA Tournament victory came in 2010 when the team was an at-large bid to the tournament. As a No. 11 seed that season, the Trojans defeated No. 6 seed Georgia Tech in the first round before losing to No. 3 seed Oklahoma in the second round on the Sooners’ home court.

Little Rock earned its automatic bid to this year’s NCAA Tournament when it claimed the Sun Belt Tournament Championship on March 10. The Trojans survived a strong second-half surge by Texas State to win its fourth league tournament with a final score of 54-53. Ronjanae DeGray and Monique Townson earned All-Tournament Team honors for their performance throughout the tournament.
