COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF
DBU knocked off Tarleton State in a thriller on Thursday night, beating the Texans, 69-61. It was a night of firsts for the Patriots, marking their first game as a member of the Lone Star Conference, as well as the first win in Stephenville for DBU.

The Patriot's red-hot start has been due to a combination of consistent scoring and timely defense. DBU continues to be one of the best teams at forcing turnovers. Currently ranked second in the Lone Star Conference in steals per game (11.00), the ability to take the rock away has been a key difference down the stretch.

After a statement win against Tarleton State, the Patriots look to continue their winning streak against Arlington Baptist College. It will be a star-spangled night inside The Burg Center on Homecoming for DBU as both teams claim 'Patriots' as their mascot. It will be the fourth matchup in the history of this series.
