Chuck Guy scored 18 points and Will Neighbour hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:16 remaining, completing Arkansas-Little Rock's 63-62 comeback win over Arkansas State Saturday night.

UALR (8-11, 5-0 Sun Belt) trailed 57-52 with 5:33 remaining and used a 7-1 run to take a one-point advantage with less than two minutes left. A missed 3-pointer and botched easy layup by Arkansas State (8-11, 2-3) on its two possessions enabled the Trojans seal the win.

Arkansas State led by 10 late in the first half and 36-29 at halftime.

Guy shot 7 for 11 from the floor and added six rebounds while scoring 14 of his 18 points in the second half. UALR forward Michael Javes was a force in the paint, tallying five blocks to go with his nine points.
