SAN MARCOS, Texas – UT Arlington men’s basketball wraps up the year with their last non-conference matchup of the season on Sunday, Dec. 29, at Texas State in San Marcos scheduled for 4 p.m. CT. The event will be streamed live on ESPN+ and available on the radio via the Varsity App, 102.5 FM, and KTNO 620 AM.
The Mavericks head into this game after winning two of their previous three contests, despite losing their last game with a score of 79-56 against Liberty. UTA is spearheaded by forward/center Lance Ware, who averages a team-high of 14.5 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game. The New Jersey native has achieved double-doubles in his last two outings.
Texas State boasts an 8-4 record after a decisive 83-61 victory at home in its Sun Belt opener against Georgia Southern on Dec. 21, marking the Bobcats’ sixth win in their last seven games.
The Bobcats are guided by head coach Terrence Johnson, now in his third season leading the team in San Marcos. Johnson previously served as an assistant at Texas State between 2015-2021-22. A former AAU coach, he also held an assistant coaching role at Samford (2010-13).
Texas State, featuring six players with double-digit scoring averages, is led by forward Tyrel Morgan, who averages a team-high of 14.3 points per game and 7.1 rebounds per game. Morgan also maintains a three-point shooting percentage of 43.5%. Guard Kaden Gumbs (13.8 ppg), forward Tylan Pope (13.8 ppg and 6.2 rpg), guard Coleton Benson (10.8 ppg with 47.8% shooting from distance), guard Joshua O’Garro (10.8 ppg and 7.0 rpg), and guard Dylan Dawson (10.3 ppg) are all significant contributors for the Bobcats.
The Mavs will encounter the Bobcats for the 81st time in program history, with UTA narrowly holding a lead in the all-time series at 41-39. However, Texas State has triumphed in the last three contests between the two teams, and six of their last ten meetings dating back to 2019.
