After a Sunday afternoon thriller, next up for the Jackets is UT Rio Grande Valley, who the Jackets will welcome to McCamish Pavilion Wednesday night. The Vaqueros come into this one sitting at 3-2, with wins coming over Bethune Cookman, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, and North Texas.
Last season, UTRGV won just ten games, despite starting the season 9-9. However, the young team returned nearly everyone, including star guard Nick Dixon, who has once again been their best player so far in this young season. Young is averaging 23 points per game, ranking him among the NCAA leaders.
