Clash at Bernard Johnson Coliseum: Sam Houston State Bearkats vs Paul Quinn College Tigers

As the Sam Houston State Bearkats prepare to host the Paul Quinn College Tigers at Bernard Johnson Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying matchup. The Bearkats have been on a roll, showcasing their dominance in recent games with impressive stats that should have the Tigers on high alert.


Sam Houston State Bearkats VS Dallas Crusaders

In their last game against Grambling State on November 22, the Bearkats put up a staggering 86 points, outshining their opponents by a wide margin. Their shooting was nothing short of spectacular; they hit 57 percent from the field and an impressive 43 percent from beyond the arc. With such accuracy, it's clear that SHSU has found a rhythm that could spell trouble for any defense.


The defensive prowess of SHSU cannot be overlooked either. They managed to snag six steals and block one shot in their previous game while committing only one more foul than Grambling State. This balance of aggressive yet controlled defense will be key against PQC.


Looking back further to November 21 against Troy University Trojans, SHSU proved they could handle pressure by pulling off an overtime win with a score of 88-86. Their tenacity was evident as they racked up seventeen steals and capitalized on turnovers by scoring twenty-seven points off them.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for SHSU; despite winning against Ole Miss Rebels on November 18 with sixty-seven points to seventy, they showed some vulnerability. The team had twelve turnovers and made only sixty-four percent of their free throws – areas where improvement is needed if they want to maintain their winning streak.


The upcoming game poses an interesting challenge for SHSU as they face PQC at home. While statistics favor the Bearkats heavily in terms of offensive firepower and defensive solidity, basketball is unpredictable and complacency can be costly.


Given these insights into recent performances and stats, it would not be surprising if SHSU continues its dominant run when facing PQC. Fans should expect another showcase of sharpshooting and robust defense from the Bearkats as they look to extend their victory tally before an enthusiastic home crowd.


Bearkat supporters can catch this thrilling encounter scheduled for November 25 at Bernard Johnson Coliseum in Huntsville or tune into ESPN+ for live coverage starting at 6:30 PM Central Time (CT).
