The Aggies earned an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament by staving off a furious rally by the Mavericks, who used Kevin Butler’s 3-pointer from the top of the key with 10:17 left to key a 15-5 run and pull within three points with 1:55 left in the game.
But Terrel de Rouen’s soft jumper just outside the key with 1:17 remaining halted UT Arlington’s surge and shifted the momentum back toward the Aggies, who closed the game on an 8-2 run to seal the win.
