CHALK TALK UALR has not played SMU since November 2012 when the Trojans narrowly edged the Mustangs 47-43 in Dallas. ... This game represents a homecoming for Tia Harvey (Sachse), Jayla Brooks (Sachse) and Angelique Francis (Irving). ... UALR last played in the WNIT in 2017 when it beat Southern Mississippi 72-62, the Trojans' only WNIT victory. ...
