CHALK TALK The Trojans enter the weekend with a 10-game winning streak at the Jack Stephens Center, and have won eight consecutive Sun Belt Conference home games. … Texas State has won four of its last five games but has not played since Jan. 2. The Bobcats’ weekend set at Arkansas State on Jan. 8-9 was postponed due to covid-19 concerns within the Texas State program. … UALR 50.4% field goal percentage ranks No. 18 nationally and first in the Sun Belt Conference. … Allowing 64.5 points per game, the Bobcats come to Little Rock as the second-best scoring defense in the conference.
