The Roadrunners were locked in a tight game with the Division III Tigers before pulling away across the final 12 minutes.
As UTSA arrived at the Convocation Center for the debut game under new coach Austin Claunch , forward Raekwon Horton could sense that the Roadrunners needed some time to settle in. A season opener usually brings a sense of overeagerness and a few early jitters, but UTSA is also still learning how to fit together with an overhauled roster.
That helped us down the stretch to start to pull away.” Guard Primo Spears led UTSA with 27 points, while guard Marcus Millender netted 19 with seven assists. Jaquan Scott added 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting with six rebounds in the frontcourt, while forward Damari Mansanto tallied 12 points with five rebounds. Like the Roadrunners, Spears did his best work after halftime, scoring 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting and 6-for-6 at the free-throw line across the final 20 minutes.
