SAN MARCOS, TX — For the first time in the 2022-23 season, the Texas State women's basketball program will play back-to-back road games when the Bobcats take on the Texas A&M Aggies on Wednesday, Nov. 23 at 4 p.m. CT. 

The game, for the Bobcats, follows a trip to El Paso, where UTEP squeaked out a four-point win over Texas State to hand the Bobcats their first loss on the season. 

Wednesday afternoon's game can be viewed on SEC Network+. 

I WAS BORN IN A CITY

• Wednesday afternoon's game between the Texas State and Texas A&M women's basketball programs will mark the first time the two have met on the hardwood since Nov. 13, 2015, when the Aggies won 87-50 in College Station. 
  • That game also marked the last time the Bobcats traveled to College Station to play the Aggies in a basketball game. 
• Texas State is looking for its first win over Texas A&M since Nov. 17, 1978, when the Bobcats won, 82-73, in San Marcos. 
  • The last time the Bobcats beat the Aggies in College Station was Feb. 15, 1977, when Texas State won 65-57. 
• When Texas State and Texas A&M take the court Wednesday afternoon, it will mark just the second time Bobcat head coach Zenarae Antoine has coached against the Aggies during her 12-year tenure at the helm of the Texas State women's basketball program. 
  • The only previous matchup for Antoine against the Aggies was the Nov. 13, 2015 meeting. 

WHERE THE WINTER NIGHTS DON'T EVER SLEEP

• Wednesday afternoon's basketball game in College Station will give Texas State women's basketball head coach Zenarae Antoine an opportunity to continue to rack up more wins within the month of November. 
  • Through four games in the 2022-23 season, Antoine and the Bobcats have already earned three wins and have the opportunity to earn two more: Nov. 23 at Texas A&M and Nov. 30 against UTSA in San Marcos. 
    • The three wins (so far) in November mark the second* consecutive season Texas State has won three games within the month. 
      • *Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Bobcats played only one basketball game within the month of November during the 2020-21 season. 
      • Excluding the 2020-21 season, Texas State, under Antoine, has won three-or-more games within the month of November every season dating back to the 2015-16 campaign, when the Bobcats only won a pair. 

SO, THIS LIFE'S ALWAYS WITH ME

• The trip to College Station this week will be a homecoming — of sorts — for fifth-year senior Kennedy Taylor as her younger brother, Wade Taylor IV, is a sophomore in the Aggies' men's basketball program. 
  • Wade Taylor IV has appeared in 45 career basketball games, which includes 18 starts, since arriving in College Station. For his Aggie career, the Dallas native is averaging 8.9 points, 2.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game entering Texas A&M's next game at DePaul on Friday, Nov. 25. 
  • Kennedy Taylor is averaging 9.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 31.8 minutes of game action for the Texas State women's basketball program as the Bobcats enter Wednesday night's game. 

THE ICE INSIDE MY VEINS WILL NEVER BLEED

• Following a stat correction in Texas State's road game at UTEP last Saturday night, fifth-year senior forward and preseason All-Sun Belt First Team selection Da'Nasia Hood finished with a season-high 30 points on 13-of-23 shooting (56.5) in 42 minutes of game action. 
  • The scoring performance was Hood's first 30-point game since the Bobcats' postseason conference tournament win over South Alabama on March 2, 2022 as Hood went for a career high 33 points on 58.3 percent shooting. 
  • Hood will enter Wednesday afternoon's game at Texas A&M looking for her fifth career 30-point game.

MY, OOH

• After having zero double-doubles during her first three collegiate basketball seasons, point guard Kennedy Taylor recorded her first career double-double (points, assists) with a 15-point, 10-assist performance at Georgia State on Jan. 15, 2022. 
• Through four games of her fifth season, Taylor has already doubled her career double-double total as the Dallas native has turned in a 12-point, 12-assist double-double against Howard Payne to open the season and then a 10-point, 10-assist double at UTEP over the weekend. 
  • Taylor will travel to College Station tied with Arkansas State's Annaliese Griffin for the most double-doubles (2) by a Sun Belt women's basketball student-athlete through this point in the season. 
    • As a team, Texas State has been credited with the most double-doubles as Taylor, Morgan Hill and Da'Nasia Hood have combined for four on the season. 
      • Arkansas State is second with three. Troy, Southern Miss, Georgia Southern, James Madison and ULM all have one.
