LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Justin Miller scored 15 points and Bryce Washington got his third-straight double-double to lead Louisiana-Lafayette to a 69-52 win over Arkansas-Little Rock on Monday night.

Frank Bartley IV added 14 points with 6-of-8 shooting for Louisiana-Lafayette (11-4, 1-1 Sun Belt), which shot 59.4 percent in the first half and finished 57 percent overall to pick up its first conference win of the season.

Louisiana-Lafayette dominated in the opening half, taking a 44-22 advantage into the break. Washington hit back-to-back buckets to open the second half and while UALR (10-5, 1-1) narrowed the gap over the final 20 minutes, the lead was never challenged, even after Miller fouled out with 4:47 left.

Arkansas-Little Rock, the defending conference champion, was led by Kemy Osse's 15 points.
