LAFAYETTE, La. -- Arkansas State University's most important game of the season turned into one of its wildest.
To put themselves in position to control the West Division of the Sun Belt Conference, the Red Wolves needed to defeat Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday. In a place it had not won since 2012, ASU effectively watched one of its season goals wash away in a 47-43 loss Saturday at Cajun Field.
Unless West Division rivals trade losses and chaos ensues, the Red Wolves (4-4, 1-3 Sun Belt) are out of Sun Belt Conference Championship Game contention.
"Our goal is to find a way to win eight," ASU Coach Blake Anderson said.
