Bobcats blow by Paul Quinn in final non-conference home game, 75-36

Texas State seemed caught off guard by Paul Quinn College’s physicality.

The Tigers came out unafraid of the Bobcats in the opening half of Saturday’s game inside Strahan Arena. They got into the home team’s personal space on defense, forcing nine turnovers and holding the maroon and gold to 43.3% shooting in the first half.

An 8-0 run by the hosts at the end of the first half gave Texas State a 34-20 lead heading into the break. But head coach Terrence Johnson knew his players needed a better response in the second half.
