Scouting Central Arkansas
Central Arkansas comes into Tuesday’s game with an 0-2 record following losses to Creighton (104-77) and Omaha (100-75). First-year coach Russ Pennell has only one returnee - sophomore forward Ethan Lee, who comes off the bench for the Bears. He is the only sophomore on a roster which has seven freshman and three juniors. The school, which is most known for former NBA great Scottie Pippen, completed the transition to Division I in 2010-11. Last year, UCA went 8-21 and finished 11th in the Southland Conference. With such a young roster, the Bears were picked 12th by the league’s coaches in the preseason poll.

A former player at Central Arkansas, Pennell is an experienced coach, having more than 25 years of coaching experience, serving as an assistant at Arizona State, Ole Miss and Oklahoma State. Most recently, he led Grand Canyon College helping the school to a 72-44 record. In 2008-09, he served as the interim coach at Arizona, leading the Wildcats to 21 victories and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16 that season.
