HUNTSVILLE — Sam Houston faces a familiar foe Friday as the Bearkats host Florida A&M with a chance to get a leg up in the series against the Rattlers.  

Tipoff is set for 11 a.m. against FAMU at Johnson Coliseum and is scheduled to be aired on ESPN+.  

This will be the third all-time meeting between the Rattlers and the Bearkats. The series is tied at 1 with the last meeting ending in a 70-62 victory for Sam Houston on Dec. 3, 2022.  
 
The Bearkats are coming off of a 63-56 loss at home against UTSA. Sam Houston let a fourth quarter lead slip away against the Roadrunners at Johnson Coliseum on Saturday. 
 
The Bearkats held an 11-point lead to start the final period when the Roadrunners began to chip away at the lead. A basket got UTSA within 45-41 with just under seven minutes left in the game before a pair of free throws by Diana Rosenthal put the Kats up five.
