The Storylines
• The Thursday 5 p.m. contest at Arkansas State marks ULM’s first of four consecutive Sun Belt road games, something it will see twice on the year. The Warhawks’ Saturday tilt is at 4 p.m. against Little Rock.
• The Jonesboro trip marks ULM’s second outside of Louisiana on the year (Dec. 5 at TCU).
• ULM is looking to avenge a nail-biting loss to Appalachian State on New Year’s Eve, a game that featured 18 lead changes. The Warhawks faced a nine-point deficit with 50 seconds remaining in the third quarter and went on an 11-2 run from there to get back in again.
