Arkansas State made up for a tough start offensively Saturday, but its seven-game wining streak came to an end when it couldn't keep Texas-Arlington off the free-throw line.
Texas-Arlington -- the preseason Sun Belt favorite that is trying to play its way back among the league leaders -- made 26 of 34 free throws, including 17 of 22 in the second half, to make up for a 5-of-24 three-point shooting performance in an 81-75 victory at College Park Arena.
Kevin Hervey led the Mavericks (18-6, 8-3 Sun Belt) with 19 points, while Erick Neal had 18 points and 9 assists.
