Freshman Tyreke Evans leads the Tigers attack at 16.7 points per game. He had 20 against Georgetown but shot 8-of-24 from the field.

The Trojans are coming off a 97-85 victory over Northern Illinois on Sunday.

Steven Moore had 22 points and eight assists in the win and leads Arkansas-Little Rock in scoring at 15.3 per contest.
