LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Courtney Jackson came off the bench to score 14 points and Arkansas-Little Rock held off a late charge by Tulsa for a 69-67 victory Sunday.

Chuck Guy added 12 points, Solomon Bozeman had 11 and Eric Kibi finished with 10 for the Trojans (5-3), who improved to 4-0 at home.

Steven Idlet led the Golden Hurricane (4-3) with 15 points. Jordan Clarkson and Scottie Haralson had 14 points each.

Little Rock led by 11 in the second half after rallying from an early 15-point deficit. Tulsa then put together its own comeback.

With the Hurricane trailing 69-63, Tim Peete hit a 3 pointer with 51.4 seconds remaining. The Trojans were called for an intentional foul on the play, and Idlet made 1-of-2 free throws to make it 69-67.

After a missed shot by Little Rock, Tulsa got the ball back with 9.3 seconds remaining, but Tim Peete's 3 was off time expired.

Tulsa returns to action against Oklahoma State at the BOK Center Wednesday at 8 p.m.
