Men’s College Hoops: State drops 4th in a row

Fort Worth — The Texas State men’s basketball team dug itself a hole that in the end they couldn’t get out of as Wisconsin-Milwaukee outlasted the Bobcats 96-77 in a NIT Tipoff Consolation game at the Daniel Meyer Coliseum Monday night.

The Bobcats trailed 16-0 before J.B. Conley hit a jumper in the lane to score Texas State’s first points with 13:27 left in the first half. UWM’s James Eyers opened the game hitting three treys in the first six minutes of the game. He ended the half with six three-point field goals and 22 points to lead the Panthers to a 50-24 lead at halftime.

UWM held a 79-54 lead with 8:56 left to play when the Bobcats mounted a furious comeback in the next four minutes. Texas State scored seven straight points in the next two minutes as John Bowman hit a three-point shot, Conley added a lay-up and John Rybak made a pair of free throws to pull the Bobcats back to within 79-61.

After Deonte Roberts made two free throws, Dylan Hale made a lay-up. On the UMW’s next possession, Roberts made another free throw to give the Panthers an 82-63 lead.

That is when the Bobcats came storming back again. First, Uriel Segura hit a pair of free throws. Then, Ryan White, who made his first start of the season, and John Rybak each made a lay-up to pull Texas State to within 82-69 with 5:00 to play.

But, that was as close as the Bobcats could get. After Riley Walker made two free throws for UWM, Bowman and Dylan Hale missed back-to-back three-point shots following two Bobcat turnovers.

Jason Averkamp made a lay-up with 2:24 left to play to give the Panthers an 89-69 lead. Segura answered with another pair of free throws and Hale made a lay-up, but Ja’Rob McCallum made a lay-up and Lonnie Boga hit one of his two free throws to make the score 92-73 with 1:22 left to play.

Eayrs ended the game with 28 points and Deonte Roberts added 14 for Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Conley led Texas State with 17 points off the bench, while Ryan White finished with 14 points and Segura netted 12 points and team-high three assists for the Bobcats.

UWM improved to 3-2 overall this season, while the Bobcats fell to 1-4 in 2009-10. Texas State will play TCU in its final NIT Consolation game at 8 p.m.
