Darrel Lampley scored a game-high 21 points, including six straight during a key second-half stretch of Eastern Michigan’s 62-51 win over Arkansas-Little Rock on Friday night.
Arkansas-Little Rock led 42-41 with 6:57 left to play in front of an announced crowd of 692 at the Convocation Center, but wouldn’t make another shot from the floor until the game’s final minute.
Meanwhile, Lampley went on a personal scoring streak that put the Eagles ahead for good. The senior guard also assisted on a Derek Thompson drive that put Eastern Michigan up 48-41 with 2:47 to play.
The Eagles (2-1) put the game away from the free-throw line, making 8-of-9 attempts in the final two minutes.
The 21 points was a career-best for Lampley, who also doled out a team-high four assists.
