It wasn’t 90, but it was a win
For the first time since making a starting lineup change, the Mesa State College men’s basketball team failed to put 90 points on the scoreboard.
The Mavericks didn’t even score 70 points, but they did shoot better than 50 percent in defeating Regis 68-57 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference game on Saturday night at Brownson Arena. Mesa State (8-6, 5-2 RMAC) remains undefeated since moving Andre Carter into the starting lineup and Ryan Mathews to the bench.
Mathews hasn’t complained. He led the Mavericks with 16 points against Regis and is averaging 16.3 points since the switch. The junior guard was averaging 12.2 points per game before the change.
“It’s a lot different seeing how the game is going off the bench,” Mathews said. “It’s working out though.”
It is the first time all season Mesa State has won three consecutive games.
