San Marcos, Texas– Texas State renews its longtime rivalry with UT Arlington Saturday, at 4:30 p.m., at Strahan Coliseum.

Texas State enters the weekend 1-3 in Sun Belt play after splitting its two-game roadtrip last week. The Bobcats held ULM to 36 points, the lowest point total in nearly 30 years on Jan. 11, before falling to UL-Lafayette 81-58 on Jan. 13.

Joel Wright has recorded a double-double in each of his last two games. He had 17 points and 10 rebounds against the Ragin Cajuns following a 14 point, 10 rebound performance against the Warhawks.
