The Roadrunners (9-11, 4-3 C-USA) will look to bounce back from Thursday's 92-71 loss at Marshall and snap a two-game skid in the process.

Byron Frohnen also neared a double-double with 12 points and nine boards, while leading scorer Jeff Beverly added 15 points.
UTSA neared a season high with 54 rebounds in the contest to raise its Conference USA-leading average to 41 boards per game, which ranks 10th in the nation. The Roadrunners totaled 20 offensive boards and turned those extra opportunities into 20 second-chance points on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Hilltoppers (10-11, 4-4 C-USA) snapped a four-game losing streak with a 65-62 win over UTEP on Thursday night. The victory evened the team's league mark at 4-4 and improved the Hilltoppers to 7-1 at home this season.
