CHALK TALK Norchad Omier's 18 points and 12 rebounds in ASU's last game gives the Nicaraguan 17 career double-doubles just four games into his sophomore season. ...The only time these teams have met was last November when Morehead State won 69-61 at home despite Caleb Fields' 22 points. ... The Eracism Invitational, which begins with this matchup, is just the second in-season tournament in Jonesboro since the 1993-94 season.
