College Basketball: Texas State/UTSA

• Texas-San Antonio leads Texas State by five at halftime, 38-33.
• Got a little bit chippy in the first half as four technical fouls were dished out. UTSA's Larry Wilkins and Texas State's Tony Bishop got tangled up in the paint and then Doug Davalos and Brooks Robinson got into it a little bit.
• Not sure why the Bobcats decided to sit in a 1-3-1 zone while the Roadrunners lit them up in the first half from beyond the arc. UTSA knocked down 6 of its 12 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes.
  
• Texas State won at home again, thanks to a pair of free throws by Ryan White with 0.3 seconds left in the game. The final score was 82-80.

College Basketball: If the SLC Tournament began today...

• Texas State's men would be the No. 2 seed at 9-4 even though it has the same record as McNeese State. The Cowboys own a tiebreaker against the Bobcats from a win earlier in the season.
• Texas State's women wouldn't be in the tournament as Suzanne Fox's team is currently sits in ninth. The Bobcats fell to Southeastern Louisiana Wednesday night and the Lions improved to 4-9, earning a tiebreaker against Texas State.
