Arkansas State wins at Texas State, 85-74.
Another full-team effort, but it was Zay's day as Nelson becomes just the 3rd player in program history to be perfect from the floor on 10 FG attempts or more. Red Wolves shot it well, rebounded it better. Seven straight.
18-5, 9-2.

With the win over Old Dominion last night, Arkansas State men's basketball moved up to #91 in Ken Pomeroy's college basketball ratings.
As best I can tell, this is an all-time program high (yearly ratings date back to 1997 and game-by-game rankings to 2012).

Final (OT): Arkansas State 98, UAB 89
Un-freakin-believable. The Red Wolves trailed the AAC preseason faves by 27 pts with 16:58 remaining, rallied after that, & really found their groove in OT. If that's not the biggest comeback in program history, I gotta know what is.
9-3.
Your completely random Arkansas State bowl game fact for today: Bowling Green will be the first orange team the Red Wolves have faced since Sept 10, 2016. That was Auburn. It wasn't fun.
Notes on Arkansas State's 85-72 win at #16 Memphis

Buyout going up a tick.
Is Twitter ever not angry?
NEWS: Arkansas State has announced a contract extension for head football coach Butch Jones.
The extension adds three years to Jones’ current contract, which was set to expire in Dec 2026. The Red Wolves went 7-5 this season (5-3 in SBC) & are awaiting bowl news. astateredwolves.com/news/2024/12...
How to combat stress during the holidays
Final: Arkansas State 86, Indiana State 81
A late push by the Sycamores made it a little nerve-racking, but preseason SBC POTY Kobe Julien stepped up to score 8 of the Red Wolves last 10 pts. Big contributions all around with 4 Red Wolves in double figures.
5-1.
I think there’s only like 90 now.
Happy Thanksgiving from Crash Davis! And from me, too 🦃

The "easiest" way each of the four remaining teams in the hunt for a Sun Belt division title- Louisiana, Marshall, Georgia Southern, and South Alabama- can host the championship game. #FunBelt
tldr: gonna be difficult for that game to be in Mobile
Sun Belt Conference championship game scenarios. It will be either
- Georgia Southern v Louisiana or
- Louisiana v Marshall or
- Marshall v South Alabama or
- South Alabama v Georgia Southern
Played in either Statesboro or Lafayette or Huntington or Mobile. Hope that helps. #FunBelt
Arkansas State’s Trevian Thomas has had interceptions
- with 1:53 left v ULM to secure a win
- with 1:32 left at GSU to secure a win
- with 10 seconds left v Troy to secure a win
Incredible.
Also of note: they legit ran out of 3s for the 3-point balloon. The last couple are taped on popcorn boxes.
Final: Arkansas State 103, Lane College 60
The shots fell early and often for the Red Wolves, and they came just a bit shy of reaching the program record for 3s with 18 makes on 48 attempts. All of the numbers look good, but the 27 assists & 10 steals stand out.
4-1.
A-State Fan Rules ate all the Convo Dogs before I could get here
Let’s go bowling!
Arkansas State tops Georgia State 27-20, securing the Red Wolves 6th win of the season and bowl eligibility for the 2nd straight year. The run game, along with two clutch INTs, gets a lot of the credit. #WolvesUp #SunBelt
Final: Arkansas State 59, Stephen F Austin 49
For the second game in a row, #AState wins with its defense. The shooting percentages for the Red Wolves weren't great, but they hold SFA to 31% shooting and just 3-16 from 3, plus force 16 turnovers.
3-1.
Unfortunately no road trips for me. In studio to handle pregame coverage for A-State/GSU that day, then off to hoops!
When you see it, you can never unsee it

If Mother Nature cooperates & there are no snow storms…
If the busses cooperate & there are no mechanical failures or delays…
And if the good Lord is willing & the creek don’t rise…
The St. Louis Cardinals Caravan will return to Jonesboro Saturday, January 18. #STLCards
The only political sign I’m still ok with seeing in Jonesboro
Sounds like a smart plan.
