ASU received 26 points from senior guard Ty Cockfield, a career-high 25 points from senior guard Grantham Gillard and a pair of go-ahead free throws from sophomore guard Markquis Eaton with seven seconds remaining to defeat Louisiana-Monroe 73-72 on Thursday.
That game sealed Arkansas State University's postseason future.
A win at 4 p.m. today against Louisiana-Lafayette could make ASU's road to Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, La. -- where the conference champion will be crowned Sunday -- a lot less stressful.
No matter the outcome, today's game will likely be an emotional one because it's ASU's senior day.
