JONESBORO, Ark. (1/9/16) – The Arkansas State University men’s basketball team overcame a 20-0 run by UL Lafayette and improved to 4-0 in Sun Belt Conference play with a 71-69 victory Saturday at the Convocation Center.
Junior guard Devin Carter led the Red Wolves with 25 points and eight rebounds while junior guard Donte Thomas tied tallied 20 points. Sean Gardner finished with 13 points, including the game-winning basket.
“What our team showed Thursday night, down six with a little over four minutes to go against ULM and win it in overtime, and then tonight down 13 with eight minutes to go and to come back and win this game shows a lot of character and toughness and resiliency,” said A-State head coach John Brady.
