Lisa Campos moved quickly, hiring Alabama assistant Austin Claunch as UTSA's next Men's Basketball Head Coach just days after announcing that Steve Henson's contract would not be renewed.

UTSA continued to struggle against opponents from the Western Athletic Conference as the Abilene Christian Wildcats defeated the Roadrunners for the second straight year. A stellar relief appearance from Braylon Owens went to waste as UTSA fell 3-4. The Roadrunners now hold a losing record on the season as Northwestern travels to the Bird Bath for what should be a challenging series.

If there was any doubt that Tarleton State's walk-off grand slam in February left a bad taste in UTSA's mouths, well Wednesday's outcome should answer that.

While UTSA Men's Basketball is entering play in one of the top mid-major conferences in college basketball, interest and hype levels are at an all time low. That's disappointing! We try to make heads or tails of this revamped roster by analyzing an overtime win against Western Illinois. The Roadrunners may be able to rack up some easy wins early in the season but the conference slate will be brutal and punishing. Sad meeps.
