JONESBORO, Ark. (9/30/18) – Arkansas State men’s basketball held its first official practice on Sunday afternoon as the 2018-19 Red Wolves spent just over two hours on the court inside First National Bank Arena under second-year head coach Mike Balado.
“First of all, I was very pleased with our guys on day one,” said Balado. “Our guys gave great intensity and competed all summer. I’ve been happy with the progress from June to now. This team is special. They allow me to coach them and when I get on them hard it’s, ‘yes sir,’ and move on which is exceptional with the newcomers and the guys returning.
