With the chance to take control of the Sun Belt Conference, Arkansas State couldn’t get by the best defensive team in the league Monday night.
ASU went three possessions without a field goal after tying the game with less than four minutes to go and Texas State was able to hold on for a 62-58 victory on Monday night at Strahan Coliseum in San Marcos, Texas.
It was the second consecutive loss for ASU (18-8, 9-4 Sun Belt), which entered the game in a three-way tie for first place, and found itself with a slim lead after Georgia State and Georgia Southern each lost earlier Monday.
