Mavericks suffer first loss of the season against Texas A&M University Corpus Christi

Despite a little boost from NBA all-star Kevin Durant, the men’s basketball team (2-1) fell in a 73-67 nail-biter to Texas A&M University Corpus Christi on Friday at College Park Center.

“In a loss, as a coach, you just start rewinding things you could have done better,” head coach Chris Ogden said.

What started off as a neck-and-neck battle in the early minutes of the first half turned into a double digit advantage once the Mavericks got their momentum going.

Junior guard Brian Warren opened up the scoring for UTA, dropping back-to-back 3-pointers to give UTA the lead.
