The Vaqueros were tied with the Tigers for most of the game until the last quarter. UTRGV took the win with a final score of 73 to 74. Coach Lew hill tells us more about the team\u2019s win.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[su_quote]\u201cLike I told my guys, we take all wins. It wasn\u2019t pretty. At the end of the year it doesn\u2019t go down as pretty or ugly&#8211;it goes down as wins. So, we don\u2019t throw them back. It wasn\u2019t our best defensive game today, wasn\u2019t our best effort game today. But like we\u2019ve been going all year, we dug down when it counted, got stops when it counted, and found a way to win.\u201d<br>Lew Hill, head coach[\/su_quote]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UTRGV\u2019s starting five put up 67 points. With guard, Tyson Smith scoring 19 points, 7 assists, and 4 turnovers. Guard, Dallas Polk-Hillard lead the game by adding 22 points. UTRGV shot 9-22, 40% percent from the 3, and 68.8-percent overall. While the tigers shot 7-12, 58.3-percent from the 3, and 80-percent overall. Guard Tyson Smith tells us about his reaction to the historic twenty wins of this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[su_quote]\u201cSpecial man. I feel like UTRGV will remember this season for life. We made lifetime memories here, and you know if we have another opportunity to win more games and push our win column up. We are just blessed and super happy for the university.\u201d<br>Tyson Smith, guard[\/su_quote]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vaqueros led the game for 25 minutes, scoring the winning point in the last second of the game. This marks the first win for the UTRGV Vaqueros in the College Insider Postseason Tournament. The next game for the vaqueros is against Texas Southern at 7pm tonight.\u00a0For future schedules and updates visit goutrgv.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week the UTRGV Vaqueros men\u2019s basketball team faced the Grambling State University Tigers at the first College<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":505,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21,16,6,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-basketball","category-edinburg","category-radio","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
