ASU falls flat against Coastal Carolina
JONESBORO -- Life in conference play can be full of twists and turns, as the Arkansas State University men's basketball team has found out.
The Red Wolves rode a three-game winning streak into this week and had the benefit of back-to-back games on their home floor. Those have turned into missed opportunities.
ASU fell 83-77 to Coastal Carolina on Saturday at First National Bank Arena, marking the Red Wolves' second loss in three days.
The Red Wolves (15-9, 7-6 Sun Belt Conference) trailed by eight at halftime and 10 early in the second half before they clawed back to briefly hold a 48-45 lead with 12:55 left. But Coastal Carolina (12-11, 5-7) was too much to handle over the closing 12 minutes.
