The men’s basketball team’s (23-10) run at a Sun Belt Championship came to an end with an 82-71 loss to the University of Louisiana at Monroe Warhawks (20-12).

UTA raced out of the gates to an early 12-0 lead, seven of which came from junior guard Jalen Jones. The Warhawks then responded with an 8-0 run to cut the lead to 14-11 and eventually took a 19-18 lead with 9:14 to play in the half.

With under two minutes left in the half, sophomore guard Kaelon Wilson took a hard fall on a dunk attempt and left the game and did not return.
