Workday Redzone on The Ticket Radio Network from noon-2p M-F. Pregame & Wolf Howls on 107.9 KFIN on Arkansas State game days. Pancho's cheese dip every day.
Arkansas State wins at Texas State, 85-74.
Another full-team effort, but it was Zay's day as Nelson becomes just the 3rd player in program history to be perfect from the floor on 10 FG attempts or more. Red Wolves shot it well, rebounded it better. Seven straight.
18-5, 9-2.

With the win over Old Dominion last night, Arkansas State men's basketball moved up to #91 in Ken Pomeroy's college basketball ratings.
As best I can tell, this is an all-time program high (yearly ratings date back to 1997 and game-by-game rankings to 2012).

Final (OT): Arkansas State 98, UAB 89
Un-freakin-believable. The Red Wolves trailed the AAC preseason faves by 27 pts with 16:58 remaining, rallied after that, & really found their groove in OT. If that's not the biggest comeback in program history, I gotta know what is.
9-3.

Your completely random Arkansas State bowl game fact for today: Bowling Green will be the first orange team the Red Wolves have faced since Sept 10, 2016. That was Auburn. It wasn't fun.

Final: Arkansas State 103, Lane College 60
The shots fell early and often for the Red Wolves, and they came just a bit shy of reaching the program record for 3s with 18 makes on 48 attempts. All of the numbers look good, but the 27 assists & 10 steals stand out.
4-1.
