Bobcats defeat rival UTSA in home opener despite injury plagued roster

In the first home game of the 2023-2024 season, Texas State defeated their arch-rivals, the UTSA Roadrunners, in a 72-62 win.

Leading the team with 19 points, newcomer Christian Turner, a transfer from Troy, was excited not only for the win but also playing in his first I-35 Rivalry Game.

“It felt great,” Turner said. “Everyone was saying this was a rivalry game so this is my first time playing in the I-35 [Rivalry]. It’s good to get our first home win.”
