STORYLINES
The 2018-19 campaign marks the program's 91st season with the Red Wolves amassing a 1,202-1,156 all-time record (.510) dating back to the inaugural 1926-27 season ... Troy visits Jonesboro for the first time since A-State topped the Trojans 82-80 back on January 21, 2017 in a shootout that featured both teams shooting 58 percent from the floor and 50 percent from 3-point range, a feat seen in only three NCAA Division I games since the beginning of the 2010-11 season ... The Red Wolves 94 points scored at Louisiana marked the most for any A-State team in a Sun Belt Conference road game and most in a conference road contest since the 1965-66 season in which it earned a 99-84 win at Southland Conference foe Trinity ... Ty Cockfield II has 10 games with 20 or more points this season, fifth most among NCAA Division I athletes this season ... As of games played Jan. 7, Ty Cockfield is among just 11 players nationally to average 20.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game this season ... A-State is off to a 6-0 start at home for the 11th time in 32 seasons played at First National Bank Arena ... All six opponents to enter FNB Arena have shot below 40 percent this season.
