Texas State sleeps through loss against New Orleans

If you just looked at the box score for Texas State's game against New Orleans, it wouldn't tell the story of the game. The Bobcats looked uninterested in the game, only two days after nearly pulling an upset of the fifth-ranked Texas Longhorns.

Texas State trailed by one at halftime and hung tough in the second. The Bobcats were somehow able to keep it respectable, although going 9-of-26 in the last 12 minutes.

In several huge stretches in the game, Texas State's seniors were on the bench. The only Bobcat upperclassman to have an impact was Brandon Bush (15 points and eight rebounds). Bush's slashing layup brought Texas State within one point, but wasn't enough.

Following the game, Bobcat head coach Doug Davalos lamented his team's performance. He accepted full responsibility for the loss, but said if his team had any credibility, the seniors would too, as well.

Texas State has lost three-consecutive games and host Prairie View A&M on Sunday.
