ARLINGTON, Texas (1/17/19) – UT Arlington forced the Arkansas State men’s basketball team into 20 turnovers and defeated the Red Wolves 68-59 Thursday night at the College Park Center.
UT Arlington (7-11, 3-2) outscored A-State (8-10, 2-3) 20-7 off turnovers and 23-9 at the charity stripe. The Red Wolves held a 42-31 advantage on the glass, but 20 turnovers to the Mavericks nine was the difference.
“At the end of the day - when you shoot 25 percent in the first half and you give the ball back to them 20 times - what you don’t see on the stat sheet is, you hold them to 37 percent, but they got 30 free throws,” said A-State head coach Mike Balado.
