2019–20 Little Rock Trojans women's basketball team

The 2019–20 Little Rock Trojans women's basketball team represented the University of Arkansas at Little Rock during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Trojans, led by seventeenth year head coach Joe Foley, play their home games at the Jack Stephens Center and were members of the Sun Belt Conference. They finished the season 12–19, 9–9 in Sun Belt play to finish in a tie for fifth place with South Alabama. In the Sun Belt tournament, the Trojans, placed fifth, defeated No. 8 Appalachian State 48-47 before being defeated by No. 4 Louisiana 46-49. Shortly after being eliminated, the conference canceled the remainder of the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic which was followed with the NCAA canceling all post-season play.

All times are in Central Time.
gollark: It wasn't cool. It was very hot, so much so that Intel tried to make some new board standard to improve cooling.
gollark: IIRC the actual dies generally aren't actually that big, so they just pick a convenient size.
gollark: I believe Micron is offering stuff based on the same technology, and there's a bunch of other nonvolatile storage things being worked on.
gollark: Intel has Optane, which is nonvolatile, more expensive than SSDs but cheaper than DRAM, and between the speed of both.
gollark: Not that I know of.
