Arkansas State report
The Lady Red Wolves were the preseason favorites in the Sun Belt Conference preseason poll. They are an experienced team, having gone with an all-senior starting lineup in each of their first three games, and seem hungry after being what most consider was the first team left out of the 2015 NCAA tournament. Gamble is a two-time SBC player of the year.
Key matchup
Again, taking care of the ball will be vital for the Mocs tonight. The Lady Red Wolves pride themselves on forcing turnovers, with an average of 11 steals in their first three games. For a team that has a bad habit of turning the ball over (nearly 18 per game through five games), the Mocs can't do that tonight.
