SAN MARCOS, Texas – Texas State (5-2) locked down defensively in the second half to pull out a 61-56 decision vs. Abilene Christian (2-4) Monday night at Strahan Arena. With the win, the Bobcats improve to 3-0 in the Southwestern Showdown and are 4-0 at home this year.
"That was a tough game," said head coach Danny Kaspar. "They [Abilene Christian] played really good defense which was a major reason why they were an NCAA team last year. I knew it would be a tough game, so I am glad about the way our guys came back after the first half.
