Arkansas State looks to stay perfect at home Friday when it hosts North Dakota State in a 3 contest in Jonesboro.
The Red Wolves (4-3) are coming off a 74-63 win over Jacksonville State, led by Christian Harmon’s 21-point performance. A-State is 2-0 at First National Bank Arena this season but continues to wrestle with turnover issues, averaging 15.6 giveaways per game.
North Dakota State (5-2) brings one of the Summit League’s top defenses but is still searching for its first road win. The Bison allow just 64 points per game and hold opponents to 42.1% shooting.
Offensively, the Bison average 80.6 points, slightly below the 82.1 the Red Wolves have allowed. Markhi Strickland leads NDSU with 15.4 points per game, while Damari Wheeler-Thomas adds 12.
Harmon enters Friday shooting 25.5% from deep with 1.7 made 3-pointers per game, and teammate TJ Caldwell is contributing 11.1 points while shooting 42.2%.
