Robert Echols Jr. did his best to help get the Mustangs a late season conference win Monday night at Lonoke. Echols finished with 23 points, but unfortunat­ely, that effort was not quite enough as the Jackrabbit­s held on to take a 65-62 win in double overtime.

Servio Fisher grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Mustangs on the boards.

The loss drops the Mustangs 413 overall and 3-10 in the conference.
