A back and forth affair saw the Texas State men’s basketball team (13-16, 6-10 Sun Belt) pull out a 78-75 win over Coastal Carolina (11-17, 5-11 Sun Belt) in the HTC Center on Saturday afternoon. The victory keeps the Bobcats’ hopes alive to claim a bye for the first round of the tournament.
“Great game! I’m proud of our guys. We were resilient today and kept fighting and believing,” said head coach Terrence Johnson. “It was a total team effort but I can’t say enough about Mason Harrell’s leadership. He was indeed the difference maker in this game. We brought culture to the floor today and I’m proud of the team.”
Mason Harrell led all players with 22 points on 6-of-11 shooting and made all nine of his free throw attempts while dishing out three assists. Also reaching double figures was Nighael Ceaser, Tyrel Morgan and Jordan Mason with 15, 13 and 12 points, respectively.
