CHALK TALK Arkansas State struggled to get production from senior guards Trey Finn and Marcus Hooten in a loss Saturday at Dayton. UAM should offer the Red Wolves a chance to get a victory and way to ensure the guard rotation finds its footing. Also, keep an eye on whether forward Brandon Peterson bounces back from a 3-of-10 shooting night.

CHALK TALK Central Arkansas junior forward Jordan Harks had 16 points and 10 rebounds in the Bears’ 79-64 loss at Arizona State on Saturday. With the absence of senior center Anthony Borden (academic ineligibility), Harks is being counted on as one of the Bears’ key inside players.
