Tough defense by Texas State overcame a sluggish start on offense and a near-comeback in the fourth quarter by New Orleans. The Bobcats (3-2) beat the Privateers (2-4) inside Strahan Arena on Wednesday, 51-49.
The hosts began the game on a 6-0 run in the first 3:08, but only managed one more bucket the rest of the quarter. New Orleans bounced back to take a 10-8 lead, building momentum heading into the second.
The Privateers maintained the lead through the entire second period, but a last-minute layup from junior forward Lillie Moore and free throw from sophomore guard Kennedy Taylor cut it to 21-18 heading into halftime.
