A LOOK AT THE COMPETITION • Arkansas State is coming off of its first Sun Belt Conference loss Thursday evening to Appalachian State. The Red Wolves started the conference slate with a perfect 5-0 record before falling to the Mountaineers by a 70-69 margin. • Appalachian State and Arkansas State have already faced off against each other on January 3. In that contest, the Red Wolves downed the Mountaineers by a score of 89-75. • Overall, Arkansas State owns a 10-6 record after going 5-5 during the non-conference schedule. • Offensively the Red Wolves are led by Aundrea Gamble, the All-SBC Preseason Player of the Year, who is averaging 20.1 PPG. She is a 47.9 percent shooter from the floor and also leads the team with 5.5 rebounds per game. In addition to her work in scoring and snagging rebounds, Gamble has dished out a team-high 71 assists. • The Red Wolves are coached by Brian Boyer who is currently in his 16th season at the helm of the Red Wolves. In his time at Arkansas State, Boyer has become the all-time wins leader in the Sun Belt Conference. The 2013-14 season was perhaps the best of Boyer’s historic career at A-State. The Red Wolves finished with a 22-12 overall record and a 14-4 mark in the Sun Belt Conference. It was the first time in school history

that the Red Wolves had captured the regular-season Sun Belt Conference title. As a result of last year’s efforts, the Red Wolves were selected first in the SBC preseason poll while Gamble was selected as the preseason Player of the Year. ABOUT THE BOBCATS • The Texas State Bobcats enter the 2014-15 season with eight returners and four newcomers. • Last season, the Bobcats earned an invitation to the WBI Tournament which marked the first postseason appearance for Texas State since the 2008 season. • Last year’s Bobcats finished with a 16-16 overall record and 12-6 conference mark. • Texas State’s conference record was good enough to put them in a tie for third place overall in the Sun Belt Conference after originally being picked ninth by the league coaches. • This preseason, juniors Erin Peoples and Ayriel Anderson were both chosen to All-SBC Preseason Teams. • Peoples, a 6-0 guard from Little Rock, Ark., was named to the First-Team while Anderson, a 5-3 guard from Irving, Texas, was
