Interim head coach Terrence Johnson had to dig a little deeper into his bench than any other game this season.
Senior guard Shelby Adams injured his left shoulder while setting a screen Thursday in Texas State’s road win against UT Arlington. In the Bobcats and Mavericks’ rematch in San Marcos on Saturday, Adams had his arm in a sling and did not dress out for the game, joining redshirt senior guard Marlin Davis, who had missed the past two games, among the inactives.
Adams and Davis combine to average 57.6 minutes per game. Johnson turned to some of his younger players to fill in for the upperclassmen. Redshirt sophomore guard Addison Wallace received his first start of the season, taking Adams’ place in the lineup. Sophomore guard Drew Tennial got on the floor for the first time since Dec. 9. Freshman guard Dylan Dawson received the most minutes in any Sun Belt game he’s played this year.
