#BobcatBits
  • Senior Brooke Holle needs only nine more points to become the 19th member of the Texas State women's basketball program's 1,000-point club. Throughout her four-year playing year in San Marcos, Texas, Brooke has made 330 field goals, which include 133 3-point shots, and converted 198 free throw opportunities. Ten more points for Brooke and the Austin, Texas native will pass Dawn Bolner (1990-94) for 18th on the school's all-time scoring list. Brooke will become Texas State Head Coach Zenarae Antoine's seventh 1,000-point scorer during her nine-year coaching career in San Marcos.
  • The five wins for the Texas State women's basketball team during the month of February were the most by a Bobcat team since the 2017-18 squad, which won six games during February, too.
  • Texas State's 31 points allowed to Texas Lutheran on Nov. 5, 2019 remains the lowest scoring output by any Sun Belt team during the 2019-20 season. Additionally, the Bobcats held Little Rock to zero 3-point baskets on Feb. 13, 2020, which remains the only time a Sun Belt team has held an opponent without a 3-pointer this season.
  • No player in the Sun Belt Conference has more total assists or a higher assist average than Texas State's Kennedy Taylor. Through 26 games this season, the sophomore guard has been credited with 154 assists and a 5.92 average assist per game mark.
Last Time Out

However, DaNasia Hood, who finished with a team-high 18 points, sank two free throws with 10.2 seconds left to make it a five-point game in the closing seconds.
  • For the game, Texas State shot 43.1 percent from the field, which included 41.2 percent from behind the 3-point arc and 90.9 percent from the free throw line.
