CANYON, Texas – The West Texas A&M Buffaloes will look to avenge a New Year's Eve loss to the Cameron Aggies as they travel to Lawton, Oklahoma on Sunday afternoon for a Lone Star Conference matchup with tipoff set for 4 p.m. at Aggie Gym.
 
WEST TEXAS A&M
The #6 Mustangs of Midwestern State went 22 minutes without a lead starting early in the first half but the free throw line lifted MSU to a 74-65 victory over West Texas A&M in front of almost 700 fans at the First United Bank Center in Canyon, Texas. The Buffs went 24-of-69 (34.8%) from the floor including 11-of-27 (40.7%) from long range and 6-of-13 (46.2%) from the free throw line to go along with 38 rebounds (13 offensive, 25 defensive), 23 fouls, 16 assists, 12 turnovers, three blocks and six steals. Jordan Evans went 7-of-17 from the floor and 6-of-12 from deep to lead all players with 20 points followed by David Chavlovich with 11 and Ryan Quaid with nine.
 
WT HEAD COACH TOM BROWN
Head coach Tom Brown was hired on April 16, 2014, as the 17th head coach in WT men's basketball history. The Buffs completed an impressive season under Brown in his rookie campaign in Canyon. While returning just three student-athletes who saw playing time the year prior and picked last in the conference preseason poll, WT finished the season with a 17-12 overall record (12-4 at home) and 7-7 mark in Lone Star Conference play. They made the LSC Tournament as the fifth seed and fell in the quarterfinals to eventual tournament champion Texas A&M-Commerce. Brown is currently 28-18 overall during his time in Canyon.

LSC PRESEASON MEDIA DAY (OCT. 28)
Tarleton State earned top billing according to the 2015-16 Lone Star Conference men's basketball preseason poll announced by the league's offices on October 28th. TSU claimed the top spot with 19 first-place votes and 173 points after winning the LSC Championship last season with a 12-2 league mark. Midwestern State finished second with 151 points including the remaining three first-place votes. Angelo State was third with 120 points, followed by defending tournament champions Texas A&M-Commerce in fourth (109). West Texas A&M was picked fifth with 84 points with Cameron sixth (72), Texas A&M- Kingsville (55), and Eastern New Mexico (28) rounding out the poll.
 
MSU's Bretson McNeal was tabbed Preseason Player of the Year. The LSC has eight teams set for this season and the league race should be as competitive as ever.  The season begins November 13 with LSC teams playing a double round robin league schedule, in which each team plays a home and away contest against each of the other teams to determine the LSC champion. The LSC champion will be the regular season winner determined by league games, while the postseason tournament winner is designated as LSC Tournament Champion and earns the conference's automatic qualification.  The top eight teams in the final conference standings qualify for the postseason tournament set for March 2-5 in Allen, Texas.
