761 Texas State +9 Jeter continues to search for players who will fit in as third and fourth options behind Eayrs and Franklin and provide some overall consistency. "Practices have been great, the morale has been great and the energy has been great. But on game nights, we still seem to be kind of running in sand. So we have to figure out how to smooth out that court a little bit." Jeter said. Last years leading scorer senior guard Tone Boyle, who is sidelined with a back injury, has not played yet this season.
Texas State did lose two very good players of last seasons team but this year they have some depth and athleticism. They should have a little bit of a home court advantage here with the game being played in Fort Worth Texas.
The Panthers have not guarded any one this season with Concordia, Western Kentucky and Indiana St. all shooting better than 50% from the field. With Tone Boyle not playing and Deonte Roberts not returning for the second half in the Panthers previous game, there are some injury concerns here.
