The CCU men’s basketball team extended its winning streak to four games with a 56-54 win over Texas State on Demario Beck’s basket with a second remaining in overtime, but ended its two-game road trip last weekend with an 87-80 loss at Texas-Arlington.
The four-game winning streak followed a six-game losing streak and the Chants are now 11-14 overall and 5-7 in the Sun Belt Conference.
Jaylen Shaw, Zac Cuthbertson and Artur Labinowicz all scored in double figures in both games, while Cuthbertson recorded a double-double against UT-Arlington with 15 points, 11 rebounds and four assists.
The Coastal women (11-12) continued a skid that has now reached four games with a pair of losses that dropped the Chants to 5-7 in the conference despite some stellar individual efforts.
