Scores 31, But Broncs Fall on the Road Against Texas A&M, 81-78 COLLEGE
STATION, TEXAS -- Mire Chatman scored a career high 31 points, but it
wasn't enough as Texas A&M came from behind to defeat the University
of Texas-Pan American, 81-78, in men's basketball action Wednesday night
at the Reed Arena. Chatman, a
junior from Garland, hit on 10-of-17 shots from the field to post his
career high. His previous
best was 25 points against Oral Roberts on Dec. 30th.
He made 4-of-5 shots from beyond the three-point line and was
7-of-8 from the free throw line. Chatman
also pulled down a season high nine rebounds. UTPA
controlled the tempo of the game from the start and led by as many as
nine points in the first half, before settling for a 37-34 lead at the
break. The second half was
a back-and-forth affair with the lead changing hands six times.
UTPA held the lead until the 9:50 mark when Bernard King hit a
jumper to give the Aggies a 59-58 lead. Neither
team took a lead of more than two points until the Aggies went on a late
run to take control of the game. A
10-3 A&M run from the 4:42 mark until the 1:52 mark gave the Aggies
a 76-69 lead. UTPA came
back and when Brian Merriweather hit a fade away three-pointer with nine
seconds left, UTPA was within one point.
But Matt Hall’s desperation three as time expired was short,
giving the Aggies the three-point win. Also
scoring in double figures for the Broncs were John Braxton with 15
points, Merriweather with 14 points and Kyle Sanders with 10 points.
Terrell Hill led the way with 10 rebounds. King led five Aggies in double figures with 22 points. The loss was the Broncs second in a row and dropped them to 10-15 on the season. Texas A&M won it’s third straight game and improved to 9-15 overall. The Broncs return to action in three days when they travel to Shreveport, La., to face the Gentlemen of Centenary College at 1 p.m. |
