Texas-Sized Numbers

The Wolves look to make it two in a row for the first time this season on Friday in Houston, and then will make the 200-mile trip to San Antonio to complete an all-Texas mini road trip. Be sure to take a peek at a preview from Craig Smith in the "Game Day" portion of the WolvesVision player.
