TEXAS STATE FALLS ON ROAD TO ACU

The Bobcats drop their overall record to 2-2 for the season.
“Winning is tough and winning on the road is even tougher,” Head Coach Terrence Johnson said. “ACU is a good team with a championship culture we knew coming into the game. We never seemed to get settled tonight. They did a good job of dictating the flow and physicality of the game. We have to watch the film and get better. It is all about the response.”
Joshua O’Garro led the team in scoring with 23 points followed by Kaden Gumbs with 16 points.
O’Garro also grabbed 10 rebounds to complete the double-double.
Texas State will compete at the Myrtle Beach Invitational over the weekend.
