College Basketball: Bobcats ward off upset bid
San Marcos — An optimist can look at Texas State’s 99-94 double-overtime victory Tuesday afternoon against Huston-Tillotson and find a batch of positives.
A realist can examine the same four-point win by the Bobcats and see they have a long way to go until they resemble a competitive Division I basketball team.
Sure, Texas State won by four points but it shouldn’t have been that close against a team from the NAIA. The Bobcats beat the Lady Rams in 2008 by 35 points and held the lead from the 19-minute mark of the first half.
It was a different story Tuesday afternoon, as Texas State came out flat from that start.
“Our kids played tight,” Bobcats head coach Suzanne Fox said. “They feel the pressure. Again, how many games have we won in the last week and a half? None. They lost that swagger and that’s the thing. Winning gives them confidence. Today we got tight and made bad choices and it snowballed on us.”
