Emmanuel Bidias A' Moute and other notes...

• Texas State learned it would be without forward Emmanuel Bidias A' Moute for the rest of the season on Wednesday. Bidias A' Moute was ruled academically ineligible by the NCAA.
• Bidias A' Moute's absence is going to hurt the Bobcats a lot. Now, Texas State is stuck with Ty Gough and Jonathan Sloan as its two big post players, both of whom lack consistency. Bobcat head coach Doug Davalos slid Dylan Moseley over into that position to put a body there, but he looked lost.
• Texas State struggled to get much going against Sam Houston State, even though it kept the game close. The Bobcats had a chance to make it a game at the end, but Brent Benson missed a huge free throw. Benson was fouled on a 3-pointer, giving him three shots. He missed the second, if he made all three, it would have made it an one-possession game.
• Texas State has now lost three consectuvie Southland Conference games.
