There are 4 games involving state teams tonight.

ULL (3-3) stays on the road to face UT-Arlington (4-2). ULL tries to get a streak going after their win on Saturday night.

ULM (0-6) also stays on the road to take on Texas State (3-3). ULM is still searching for their first win in Sun Belt play.

Southern (5-2) is also on the road as they face Alabama State (2-4). The Jags have won three straight and try to make it four in a row.

And in the only game actually taking place in the state tonight, Grambling (3-4) hosts Arkansas - Pine Bluff (3-3). Grambling is trying to win their 2nd in a row and get back .500 in the SWAC. (This game is Saturday, I misread the Schedule.)
