News came at a slow pace this week so sports filled the gap for this post. Men's basketball is continuing their push for wins before the Southland Conference Tournament in March. Their convincing win over Southeastern Louisiana shows exactly what can happen if the team plays as one and doesn't rely on Haynes to pull it out in the second half. The baseball team also had its home opener on Friday, facing off against Dallas Baptist University. After an early lead, the Mavericks' gave up a few home runs late in the game and could not recover. I also shot some tennis, which hasn't happened in years. I think I got some good shots considering I don't know the sport that well.
