The men got off to a rough start Friday with a 39-61 loss to Texas A&M International, but rebounded Saturday to best Christian College, 84-76.
The squads next hit the hardwood Friday, when both teams are slated to do battle against UCCS at home. The women’s game starts at 5:30 p.m. and the men’s is expected to tip off at 7:30 p.m., respectively.
