The Redhawks are now 6-10 while Little Rock sits at 5-11. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: SE Missouri State has only been able to knock down 41.90% percent of their shots, which is the 45th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Little Rock has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 47.30% from the floor on average, which is the third highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
