Arkansas State hunkered down in its locker room inside Texas State's Strahan Arena last Thursday.
The two losses the weekend before were one thing -- a two-point defeat at Troy in which the Red Wolves had a potential game-winning shot followed by a rout at South Alabama when ASU played down three starters for the final 30-plus minutes.
But an 84-67 loss to a Texas State team the Red Wolves had beaten not even a month earlier? There was a conversation to be had.
Little did Coach Mike Balado know it would go on for an hour, preventing him from doing his postgame radio interview.
