What to Know

The Arkansas State Red Wolves have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the App. State Mountaineers and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 24 of 2019. Arkansas State and Appalachian State will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 8 p.m. ET on Friday at First National Bank Arena. The Red Wolves are expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.

Arkansas State was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 74-69 to the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.

Meanwhile, Appalachian State had enough points to win and then some against the Little Rock Trojans on Wednesday, taking their matchup 78-66.

Arkansas State came up short against the Mountaineers in the teams' previous meeting in January, falling 61-54. Maybe Arkansas State will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
