This 5-5\ntie would be the only tie of the night and as close as the Dustdevils would\ncome to a lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TAMIU was down one around the 13 and a-half minute mark, but\nthe home team took off on a 9-3 run, extending their lead to 23-16. The\nDustdevils scored five of the next seven, slicing their deficit to four, but\nthe Blue and Gold answered with eight unanswered points to extend their lead to\n33-21. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last 10 points of the half were split evenly, sending TAMUK\ninto the locker room holding a 38-26 advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TAMUK wasted no time getting to work in the second half, outscoring\nthe Dustdevils 10-0. The ten-point run created a 22-point chasm that the\nvisitors could not crawl out of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TAMUK kept the pressure on, not allowing TAMIU to come any closer than 19. The last ten minutes of regulation saw eight different Javelinas contribute to the stifling of any comeback hopes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five Javelinas hit double-digits in the scoring column. Rashon Thomas led the home team\u2019s offensive attack with 18 points. Flowers was just one bucket behind with 16, and senior Chauncey Thomas was one field goal behind Flowers with 14.

Two days later they will\nhead north for Lubbock to take on the Lubbock Christian Chaps. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The TAMUK men\u2019s basketball team scored a season-high 96 points and recorded their 14th conference win of the season Saturday night against the Dustdevils of&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[182],"class_list":["post-3571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"cc_featured_image_caption":{"caption_text":false,"source_text":false,"source_url":false},"authors":[{"term_id":182,"user_id":31,"is_guest":0,"slug":"dylan-dozier","display_name":"Dylan Dozier","avatar_url":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/fea1cc1fe742527221bdb9ee0ed32d0d.jpg?ver=1776215706","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3571"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3573,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3571\/revisions\/3573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3571"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=3571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
