SAN MARCOS, Texas – The Texas State men's basketball team could not overcome some shooting woes and did not have an answer for UT Arlington's Edric Dennis and Bryan Warren's combined 42 points after halftime as the Bobcats fell 84-77 in double overtime before a record-setting crowd of 6,581 at Strahan Arena.
Texas State (17-5, 6-3 Sun Belt) attempted 20 more field goal attempts than the Mavericks as the Bobcats shot just 39.2 percent (31-79) from the field and 45 percent (9-20) at the free throw line.
UTA (10-12, 6-3) scored the first five points in the game before the Bobcats came storming back to take a nine-point, 27-18, with 3:26 left to play in the first half.
