Bobcats bombarded by Trojans in 71-63 loss

The Bobcats' defensive assignments got confusing.

Texas State found itself down by a point after the first half of Monday’s 71-63 loss to Troy inside Strahan Arena. The Trojans deployed their starting unit to begin the second half, featuring four guards and 6-foot-6 junior forward Nick Stampley.

Bobcats senior center Eric Terry missed a layup to begin the period and Troy (5-10, 2-3 Sun Belt) pushed the ball in transition, finding junior guard Darian Adams open in the right corner for a 3-pointer, his first score of the game. Stampley stole the ball away from Texas State junior guard Shelby Adams on the next possession, leaving the hosts scrambling to find their man on defense.
