Coastal Carolina (20-17) will come to the Arena Auditorium where the Cowboys (21-15) are 17-3 on the season. The Pokes will have some work to do after an outstanding performance from the Chanticleers.
“We have to get better as a program on the road,” head coach Allen Edwards said. “Coastal Carolina protected their home floor with great energy and physicality. We tried to fight back, but we allowed too many points tonight.”
