BRONCS TO CONTINUE HOME STAND AGAINST For Immediate Release: Tuesday,
November 20, 2001 EDINBURG, TX-With two games down and two more to
go, the University of Texas-Pan American men’s basketball team hopes
to be as successful during the last two games of their season-opening
home stand as they have been at the start of it. The Broncs will finish
off their home stand by hosting Texas College Wednesday and Texas
Southern Saturday. Both games begin at 7:30 p.m. at the UTPA Fieldhouse. The Broncs take a 2-0 record into Wednesday
night’s game after downing Sul Ross State Saturday, then defeated
Southwest Texas State Monday night, 73-67. Texas College is affiliated with Division I in the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, and is a member of
the Red River Conference. The Steers are 5-1. Texas Southern of the
Southwestern Athletic Conference dropped their opener at New Mexico
Monday night, 97-51. “We stepped up and made the plays at the end, but
we have to get right back up again,” said UTPA Head Coach Bob Hoffman
after the Broncs’ win against the Bobcats. “Texas College has two
guards who are as good as any guards we’ve seen, and Texas Southern is
a good team. We’ll have to play well against Texas College and Texas
Southern.” MBB-11-01 112001 |
