Hoggies Come Up Short Versus Aggies

Box Score LAWTON, Okla. – Looking to complete the season sweep of Cameron, the Texas A&M-Kingsville men's basketball team rallied from an 8-point deficit on the final 3:47 to pull within one with under 20 seconds left in 63-58 loss on Wednesday.

The Javelinas fall to 8-16 overall and 3-9 in the Lone Star Conference, while Cameron is 11-12 overall and 5-7 in the league.

Trailing 59-51 with 3:47 left following a Tank Mayberry layin, Adonis Bailey began a 7-0 by hitting 1-of-2 free throws with 3:17 left.

Following a pair of free throws by Irvin Hollinger with 2:37 left, Ta'Quan McDew came up with a steal. Bailey would convert a layin with 1:32 left to make it a 59-56.

After Hollinger missed a pair of free throws that would have pulled Kingsville to with a point with 1:01 remaining, the Javelinas forced a team turnover to get the ball back. McDew's three on the ensuing possession was off target with half a minute remaining.

Ronald Scott pulled Kingsville to within a point at 59-58 with 16 seconds left.

In order to get the ball back, the Javelinas fouled the Aggies three times in the next two seconds to send Cameron to the line. Aaron Thompson would connect on a pair of free throws with 14 seconds left to make the score 61-58.

Scott attempted a three with eight second left but was off target.

Trevor Smith drained a pair foul shots with five second s left to season the 63-58 win.

Kingsville jumped out an 8-point lead, 13-5, just over five minutes into the game on an Irvin Hollinger trey. However, the Hoggies would manage just six points the remainder of the first half as Cameron built a 29-19 lead.

The Javelinas, who played without Rashad Basey for the second consecutive game, were led in scoring by McDew. Scott added 10 points. Kingsville did a tremendous job of taking care of the ball as it had just two turnovers, while forcing eight steals.

Thompson had 14 points off the bench for Cameron, while Craig Foster had 11 points and eight assists, while Will Cook added 10. Cameron hit 47.9% from the floor while holding Kingsville to 36.2%. The Aggies were an impressive 12-of-12 from the charity stripe.
