A LOOK BACK AT LAST TIME OUT
Tarleton opened up the 2018 calendar year with back-to-back conference wins over Angelo State and Texas A&M-Kingsville. Against Angelo State, Tarleton put together one of its top all-around performances of the season Thursday night, which was sparked by a season-high 31-point scoring effort by the TexAnn bench. Senior
Baylee Peck poured in a career-high 11 points. Tarleton followed up Saturday with its best defensive showing in recent years as the TexAnns held Kingsville to 11 points in the first half on their way to the win.
