In their first meeting in nearly a decade, longtime rivals Texas State and Sam Houston State continued their almost 100-year-old rivalry as the Bobcats fell to the Bearkats 69-62 on Saturday.
As expected, the game between the former Lone Star and Southland Conference rivals was a battle from tipoff as head coach Terrence Johnson was proud of his team’s response after the disappointing loss to Mary Hardin-Baylor on Tuesday.
“It was a high level intense game,” Johnson said. “That is a well coached team right there … I’m proud of the way our guys responded from the other night. They played hard and I thought they tried to play together. We just ran into a better team tonight.”
