A hot start and sharp shooting from deep led Texas State to a 63-59 road victory over reigning Sun Belt regular season champion Little Rock on Friday.
The Bobcats (8-4, 2-1 Sun Belt) made nine of their first 11 field goal attempts, going 4-5 from behind the arc. On the other end of the court, the visitors held the Trojans to 3-9 from the field during the run, including 0-3 on 3-point attempts, and forced three turnovers.
“I was proud of the way our guys competed,” interim head coach Terrence Johnson said in a statement. “We defended really well early on, and that led to some good looks on the other end.”
