Mustangs enter the game following back-to-back losses at FAU and USF after winning the previous six games.

UTSA won its last two, over Tulsa and at UNT, after losing its previous seven games.

Chuck Harris (ankle) not in uniform. Was considered a game-time decision, but is unavailable — on the bench in street clothes.

Xavier Foster not on bench.

I wondered if Harris was nursing an injury last week against USF when he couldn't find his touch. Hope we can get through the next 2 games without him if necessary but will need him back full speed vs UAB

Mustangs doing a good job defensively and on the boards but it sure would be nice if we had more shooters. Have to keep up the perimeter D as UTSA likes to jack threes and that can change this game in a hurry
