Willie Rooks, Lions knock off Mustangs with stellar second half

WICHITA FALLS – Texas A&M-Commerce overcame a sloppy first half and a one-point halftime deficit by shooting 54.1 percent in the second half en route to a 78-64 Lone Star Conference victory on the road over MSU Texas in front of 675 fans Thursday night.

“We knew they were going to be ready,” Texas A&M-Commerce head coach Jaret Von Rosenberg said. “I was an assistant in this league and before I got the head coaching job and I knew how hard it was going to be every time we came here. They play physical and aggressive at the point of attack.”
