The Wildcats, who shot 50% (14-for-28) in the first half, repeated their performance in the second half by once again going 14-for-28 from the field in the final twenty minutes, but it was not enough to catch the Lobos as Sul Ross came away with the nine point win in conference play.
 
Anthony Gaines, Jr. led LC with 19 points while grabbing 6 rebounds and recording 5 assists.
 
Steve Evans (10 points, 7 rebounds) and Raheem Regis (14 points) also reached double figures in scoring for the Wildcats.
