KINGSVILLE, Texas - After picking up their first Lone Star Conference win of the season last week, the Texas A&M-Kingsville men's basketball team is on the road for two weeks in a row. Kicking off the four game stint, the Javelians take on the Arkansas-Fort Smith Lions on Thursday, Jan. 11 with tipoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Afterwards, the Hogs make the drive to Oklahoma City to take on the Oklahoma Christian Eagles on Saturday, Jan. 13 at 3 p.m.

Last time out, the Javelinas (3-8, LSC 1-6) took down St. Mary's in overtime, 80-78, on a half court buzzer beater from Allen Singleton. However, the Javelinas found themselves on the opposite side of the same coin two days later, falling to St. Edward's on a desperation shot, 77-79.

Jason Clark put up new career-high numbers in points, rebounds, and assists on the weekend. Clark led the team in scoring in both games, putting up 17 against St. Mary's - a new career-high - and 16 against St. Edward's. He put up a new career-high in rebounding against St. Edward's as well with 7 total rebounds and two assists against St. Mary's for a career-high in that category as well.

C.J. Smith continues to be a constant presence for the Javelina offense, finishing with 16 points in both games on the weekend as well as six assists against St. Mary's and four against St. Edward's. Clark also added three steals to his stat line over the weekend, bringing his total for the season up to 26, tied for 53rd in the nation.

Kendrick Washington put up impressive performances for the Hogs as well, posting a new season-high in points with 15 against St. Mary's alongside 11 points against St. Edward's. Washington shot nearly 50 percent from behind the arc in the contest against the Rattlers, going 5-of-12 from downtown.

Freshman Zyon Little has put up great first impressions this season, finishing in the top three in rebounding for the Javelinas in both games last weekend, including a team leading six total rebounds against St. Mary's. He also posted five assists and 15 points over the two game span.

Marcus Jones-Green posted a breakout game against St. Edward's with 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting, including going 3-of-4 from three-point land, as well as totaling a team leading six assists.

The Javelinas have control of the recent series against both UAFS and Oklahoma Christian. The Hogs lead the recent series against the Lions, 5-1, and the recent series against the Eagles, 3-1.
