It may have been a struggle for Jeff Mittie’s Wildcats in many aspects of their Monday night game against the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, but thanks to continued improvement on rebounding and a strong defensive effort, the Wildcats defeated the Vaqueros 61-43.
“Well, I thought offensively it was a struggle most of the night for us,” Mittie said. “We just seemed to really struggle moving the basketball. We’ve got a lot of areas to get better at. The areas I’m pleased with — rebounding has really improved over the last two weeks.”
The Wildcats found early scoring and strong defense in the first quarter.
