NCDS: Chad Dollar, Asst. Coach - Arkansas State ("Road Trip Itinerary")

By: Chad Dollar, Asst. Coach - Arkansas State

The Arkansas State men's basketball team is coming together quite well.  There is tremendous excitement around the program.  With only three players returning who logged minutes last year, the newcomers are coming together quite well at this point of the season.  Watching the young Arkansas State team grow over the season has been special.  I can't believe that we are at the midpoint already.  Time goes by really fast when you enjoy yourself. 

After just completing a two-game conference road trip, I thought it would be very important to give you some insight of our schedule while on the road.  Here is the itinerary for our last road trip when we played Florida International University and Florida Atlantic University.
