Farris Center
Conway, AR
January 12, 2008
The game was not just lost from poor shooting from the field, but a very poor performance from the charity stripe. Central Arkansas earned numerous free throws in the second half alone, only to see that majority of them clang off the rim.
Even though Mark Ruthledge was able to drop 14 points and grab six boards, he was still not fully himself as he shot 5-19 from the field.
His counterpart, Corey Stern of Texas State, had an more forgettable night. Stern finished with five points on 2-18 shooting.
This game was once again dominated by the big men of the opposition. Dante Bachus (13 points) and Luke Mergerson (11 points, 12 rebounds) dominated down low and earned the victory for Texas State.
