FAYETTEVILLE -- Texas State's basketball team is off to its best start in 60 years and brings an eight-game winning streak into Walton Arena today to play the University of Arkansas.
The Bobcats are 10-1 to match their best start since they opened the 1952-53 season when they were an NAIA team playing in the Lone Star Conference. They finished 21-3 that season.
"We've been playing pretty good together in terms of shooting the ball at a reasonable clip (47.5 percent) and defending at a pretty good clip (37.9 percent)," Texas State Coach Danny Kaspar said. "We've got a lot of experience with eight guys back who played for us last season and the leadership has been very instrumental to our success so far.
