The Red Wolves are the only team ranked inside the top-50 in rebounds per game to not have a player averaging more than 6.0 rebounds per game ... Ty Cockfield's career scoring average of 17.1 points ranks ninth in program history ... 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 196566 season in which it earned a 99-84 win at Southland Conference foe Trinity ...
