Texas State Bobcats at Little Rock Trojans
· SUN BELT CONFERENCE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP - FINAL
53 - 54
Little Rock wins Sun Belt, advances to NCAAs for 5th time
Little Rock built a 21-point lead midway through the third quarter on a 3-pointer by Tori Lasker but Texas State scored the next nine to stay in it. Texas State only scored 20 points in the first half but added 17 in the third to pull to 48-37.
A 13-0 fourth-quarter run put Texas State into a tie at 50 on Zelor Massaquoi's layup, but the Bobcats only made one basket in the final four minutes.
Texas State's Toshua Leavitt was called for a travelling violation at 50.9. Little Rock broke the full-court pressure and dribbled down the clock but Townson missed a baseline shot at 17.6 and Massaquoi secured the defensive rebound.
Sun Belt player of the year Taeler Deer had a decent look at a contested driving layup but it was too strong and bounced off with 1.1 seconds left. Little Rock inbounded it twice after a foul to wind down the clock.
Little Rock (23-9) and Texas State (23-9) both entered on seven-game winning streaks.
Deer finished with 20 points on 7-of-22 shooting for Texas State. Leavitt added 11 points and Brooke Holle 10.
Little Rock has kept its opponents below 40 percent from the field in 20 of the last 22 games as Texas State was held to 35.2 percent shooting.
