After being on the road the last three games, the Mavericks managed to hold on to their undefeated (8-0) home record.
The men's basketball team, 5-1 in conference and 14-3 overall, defeated Arkansas State Red Wolves 91-64 Thursday night at the College Park Center.
UTA began the first half with a shaky start creating a nail biter for their fans when sophomore forward Kevin Hervey sat out after a knee injury.
However, UTA managed to take control of the pace of the game going on a 9-0 run.
Senior forward Kennedy Eubanks in his first career start for the Mavs ended the game with a double-double scoring a career-high of 23 points and 11 rebounds.
