SAN MARCOS, TX — The Texas State women's basketball program will look to extend its current four-game winning streak on Saturday, Feb. 12, when the Bobcats play host to ULM at 2 p.m. CT. 

Brant Freeman and Suzanne Fox will have the call on ESPN+. 

LOOKING AT THE BOBCATS

For the second time this season, the Texas State defense held an opponent without a made 3-pointer when the Bobcats did not allow Louisiana to make any of its five shots behind the 3-point arc on Thursday, Feb. 10. Texas State also accomplished the feat against ULM on Thursday, Dec. 30, 2021, when the Warhawks failed to make a 3-pointer on 10 attempts. 

A win over the Warhawks on Saturday, Feb. 12 would give Texas State its longest conference winning streak (five games) since it won five straight from Feb. 15 to March 2, 2018. The current four-game winning streak in Sun Belt action is the longest for the Bobcats since it won four straight games from Feb 14 to Feb. 23, 2019. 

With Texas State's win over Louisiana on Thursday, Feb. 10, Bobcat head coach Zenarae Antoine moved to 8-2 all-time at Texas State when the program conducts its annual "Breast Cancer Awareness" game. Antoine and the Bobcats have won their last five straight such games. 

SCOUTING THE WARHAWKS

Despite the final score, freshman Kyren Whittington continued her productivity for ULM in Sun Belt Conference play. In conference-only games, Whittington is boosting her scoring output from 14.4 points to 17.7, while also increasing her rebounding total from three per game to 4.1. Over the last five games, she's averaging 18.2 points and 4.6 rebounds. 

In conference-only games, ULM ranks 12th in the Sun Belt Conference in scoring offense (56.0) and scoring defense (75.2). The -19.2 scoring margin is also ranked 12th in the league and is over 11 points higher than the next closest team, Georgia State, at -8.6. 

SERIES HISTORY

Entering Saturday afternoon's contest, Texas State is riding a six-game winning streak over ULM dating back to the 2019-20 season. The Bobcats' current six-game winning streak is the longest by either squad since the Warhawks won six straight from Feb. 16, 2005 to Jan. 11, 2014. TXST's current six-game winning streak is the longest by either team since the Bobcats joined the Sun Belt Conference. 

Under head coach Zenarae Antoine, Texas State is 13-5 all-time against ULM, including winning 11 of the last 13 games dating back to Feb. 18, 2016.
