What to Know

After three games on the road, Texas State is heading back home. They will take on the UTSA Roadrunners at 8:15 p.m. ET on Friday. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

It's hard to win when your shooting is a whole 23.9% worse than the opposition, a fact Texas State found out the hard way on Tuesday. They were completely outmatched by the Sooners on the road and fell 93-54. Texas State was in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 45-22.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored UTSA on Tuesday, but the final result did not. They took a 90-82 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Cardinals. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.

UTSA's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Trey Edmonds, who dropped a double-double on 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Adante' Holiman who scored 22 points along with 4 rebounds and 2 steals.

The Bobcats now have a losing record at 1-2. As for the Roadrunners, they now also have a losing record at 1-2.

In addition to losing their last games, the two teams failed to cover the spread. As for their next game, Texas State is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 7.5 points. This will be their first time playing as the favorites at home this season.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Texas State have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 43 rebounds per game. However, it's not like UTSA struggles in that department as they've been averaging 41.3 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
