Even after securing the Sun Belt Conference regular-season title, the Mavericks (24-6, 14-3) continue to make history.
A 72-57 win against the University of Louisiana-Monroe (8-22, 2-15) Thursday at Fant-Ewing Coliseum led the Mavs to tie the highest single-season win total for the UTA men’s basketball program.
Both teams shot under 40 percent from the floor in the first half, but 13 points from senior guard Jalen Jones gave the Mavericks a narrow 31-30 lead at the half. Despite struggling from the floor in the first half, both teams found success beyond the 3-point arc, shooting a combined 50 percent.
