LITTLE ROCK, AR - The UALR Department of Athletics will provide free busing to UALR students wishing to attend Saturday’s Sun Belt Conference Basketball Tournament games at Summit Arena in Hot Springs, Ark. The No. 2-seeded UALR women begin the day at 2:30 p.m. when they face off against the winner of No. 7 South Alabama and No. 10 Troy in Summit Arena, while the No. 5-seeded UALR men’s team plays No. 4 FIU on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. on Convention Center Court.

Signups for the buses to Hot Springs will take place Wednesday, March 6 and Friday, March 8 from 11 a.m. through 1 p.m. at the Donaghey Student Center.
