BASKETBALL UALR games postponed again
Inclement weather kept the UALR men’s and women’s basketball teams in Little Rock on Saturday, and its doubleheader at Tulsa was postponed for the second consecutive day.
The games were originally scheduled for Saturday but were moved to Sunday after an ice storm passed through Friday and covered much of Arkansas. The teams weren’t able to leave Saturday, so instead the UALR men will play at Tulsa at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The new date for the women’s game has yet to be set.
