Tarleton was in a battle with Chicago State for most of the way on their own Black History Appreciation Day. A 27-16 fourth quarter lifted the Texans past the Cougars at home, 65-51. With the win, the Texans are guaranteed to finish with a winning record at home. It marks their 19th straight season they've finished .500 or better at home, last failing to do so in 2002-03.
