Game Recap: Men's Basketball | | Tom Perpetua

Hot Hand Continues for Seay on Saturday

Azariah Seay has been scoring in bunches lately for UT Permian Basin Men's Basketball and that trend continued on Saturday against Texas A&M - Kingsville.  The senior dropped 19 points off the bench and was a perfect 9-for-9 from the free throw line.  The Falcons didn't miss from the charity stripe on Saturday, finishing 19-of-19 for the game including 17-of-17 in the second half.

A pair of three-pointers pushed the Javelinas out in front by six early in the game.  The Falcons responded with a 10-0 run to take the lead including threes by Jalen King and Keyon Craddock.  From there the first half was a slugfest with both sides unable to gain momentum.  A basket by King pushed the lead to five and after the visitors answered, Max Warren's bucket put it back to a five-point advantage.  A 10-0 run by the Javelinas swung things the other way late in the half, but King's basket at the end of the half made it 29-26 in favor of the visitors.

The Javelinas pushed the lead to six again early in the half before the Falcons responded.  Craddock knocked down a three and Seay followed with a three-point play to tie it at 38.  Moments later the Falcons pushed the lead to three on a pair of free throws by DaJuan Jones.  From there the offense went quiet and was outscored down the stretch and eventually fell 73-63.

King added 11 points to the effort.  Jones had a team-high six rebounds.

The Falcons are on the road next week for a pair of Lone Star Conference contests.  They open the week against Oklahoma Christian on Thursday.  Download the UTPB Athletics App to follow the team all season long.
