Texas State basketball vs. SFA

Both Texas State basketball teams have dates with Stephen F. Austin tonight in pivotal Southland Conference match-ups. The Bobcat men and women team need wins to stay alive in the race for the SLC tourney.

Right now, the Texas State men's team is still in ninth place. The Bobcats are a game behind Lamar by virtue of common opponents and would be on the outside-looking in should the conference tournament begin today.

Texas State plays SFA, who is tied atop the SLC with a 9-3 record. The Lumberjacks are 11-0 at home, so the Bobcats will need to play like they did against Nicholls State last Saturday afternoon.

The Texas State women are in seventh place in the SLC, right above Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The Bobcats are 5-7, while SFA is 8-4. 

The Lady Jacks are currently holding down the fourth seed if the SLC tournament started today. SFA is 4-7 away from home, so Texas State should have a good shot tonight.

This will be the 56th meeting between the women's teams. The Lady Jacks hold a 48-8 advantage.
