He also ranked second on the team with 3 assists per game and was third among Roadrunners in rebounding with 5.2 per game.

The Roadrunners wrapped up a third straight losing season Wednesday, finishing 11-21 after a first-round loss as the bottom seed in the AAC tournament.

The next day, UTSA athletic director Lisa Campos announced that eighth-year coach Steve Henson will not have his contract renewed following its expiration March 31.
