CHALK TALK UALR has not won in five previous trips to the state of Ohio. … Trojans guard D.J. Smith scored 20 points Wednesday night at Indiana, the second time he’s reached that mark this season. … Miami Coach Travis Steele spent more than a decade in various roles at Xavier before being fired in March. … This is the last of three games UALR will play as part of the Indiana Hoosier Classic.
