The high-flying RPI #42 Lady Spartans of Arkansas-Little Rock (19-3, 12-1 SunBelt) are in The High Country to face our RPI # 163 ASU (10-11, 5-7 SunBelt)tomorrow afternoon at HCC in the prelim to the men's 7:30 game.
Suffice it to say that an ASU win over UALR would be monumental; especially without the apparent availability of all-everything forward Maryah Sydnor who has missed several consecutive games and has been rumored to be lost for the season. [Those rumors are unconfirmed, either by Coach Elderkin or by the athletic department.]
Edlerkin was absent from last night's Mountaineer Talk broadcast--deciding instead to accompany assistant coaches on an important recruiting trip.
What we know is that The Lady Spartans are very, very good; that they took an earlier game from the Apps in Little Rock 69-48 with Sydnor in the lineup; that the Apps caved-in on the home court Saturday and absorbed a 108-87 loss to a good Troy team. That leaves the eighth place Apps under the edge of the bubble for making the eight-team SunBelt Tourney next month. They need a couple of wins to assure a place in the tourney. They have only a half-game lead over ninth-place Georgia State.
As for the upcoming game UALR is favored by 8. Maryah, oh Maryah...

Coach Elderkin was spotted in Davidson County where she got to see new recruit Kaila Craven pour in 36 points last night.
