LAS VEGAS – The underdogs come up big as Texas State (4-2) picked up its first road win of the season and snapped a four-game losing streak in road or neutral games dating back to last year when they topped UNLV (2-4) 64-57 Wednesday night at the Thomas & Mack Center. Senior guard Nijal Pearson turned in a big night that included moving to No. 3 on the program's all-time scoring list.
"It was a great win for the players, our coaching staff and the program," said head coach Danny Kaspar.
