Ty Cockfield has 12 20-plus point outings in his A-State career following his 23 point effort against Gardner-Webb ... A-State limited Gardner-Webb to 23 rebounds, fewest by an A-State opponent since Abilene Christian had 21 back on November 13, 2017 ... A-State has 25 blocks this season and is on pace for 129 this season, which would rank fourth most in program history ... The Red Wolves have 45 steals thus far and are on pace for 232, most since the 2012-13 season ... Malik Brevard had 13 points and 10 rebounds against Eastern Illinois, the first doubledouble by an A-State player this season ...
