<\/p>\n ARLINGTON, Texas \u2013\u00a0UT Arlington men’s basketball (15-12, 7-8 WAC) suffered a 66-54 defeat at the hands of first-place Utah Valley (20-7, 10-4 WAC) Saturday afternoon at College Park Center. It was the final regular-season home game for the Mavericks, who finished the CPC slate 9-4.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Wolverines went on a game-defining 15-2 run over seven minutes late in the contest to turn a 47-45 deficit into a 60-49 advantage with just 2 \u00bd minutes to play. UTA went the game’s final eight-plus minutes with just one made field goal.
\n\u00a0
\nIn the first half, UTA led by as many as 11, 26-15, with 6:40 left. The Mavericks were on top 32-27 at halftime after limiting the Wolverines to less than 30 percent from the floor (11 of 37).
\n\u00a0
\nHowever, the Mavs managed just 22 points after halftime, connecting on just 7 of 23 field goals while going 7-for-16 from the free throw line. Utah Valley collected a season-best 23 offensive rebounds on the afternoon. The Wolverines held a 21-5 advantage over the Mavs in second-chance points.

\nMarcell McCreary<\/a> finished with a team-high 14 points, his 20th double-digit scoring game of the season. Cash Chavis<\/a> added 13 points and was 2-for-3 from 3-point range.
\n\u00a0
\nIt was Senior Day for the Mavs as McCreary, Marcus Rigsby, Jr.<\/a> and Raysean Seamster<\/a> played their final home games at College Park Center.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Mavs begin their three-game road trip to close the WAC regular season slate on Thursday at California Baptist (19-8, 9-5 WAC) at 9 p.m. (CT). It will be broadcast live on ESPN+ and on the radio on the Varsity Network App with the Voice of the Mavs, Josh Sours.
