UTA men’s basketball defeats University of Louisiana Monroe 63-56

With less than four weeks left in the regular season, the Mavericks came into Friday night’s game against the University of Louisiana Monroe as the No. 4 seed in the West Division of the Sun Belt Conference.

To see some positive movement in the standings, UTA will have to string some wins together in the last eight games of conference play.

The men’s basketball team (10-9, 6-5) collected one of those games in a 63-56 win against the Warhawks on Friday night at College Park Center. Junior guard Shahada Wells, sophomore guard Sam Griffin and sophomore forward Patrick Mwamba combined for 54 points in the win.
