The men’s basketball team (12-15, 8-6) couldn’t find its footing after suffering a 76-64 loss to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette on Thursday at College Park Center.
Last week, the Mavericks dropped two games on the road against the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and Arkansas State University. Thursday’s loss extended UTA’s losing streak to three games.
Just two weeks ago, UTA jumped into first place in the Sun Belt Conference after defeating Coastal Carolina University. The three-game losing streak knocked UTA to fourth place in the conference behind Texas State University (10-4), Georgia State University (10-4) and Georgia Southern University (9-5).
