SAN ANTONIO – The UTSA men's basketball team opened its practice for the 2021-22 season on Wednesday afternoon at the Convocation Center.
UTSA opened its practice season on Wednesday with the first full team practice of the year, practicing for a pair of hours at the Convocation Center. UTSA will open its 2021-22 season on Nov. 9, hosting Trinity at the Convocation Center.
The Roadrunners are coming off a 15-11 season that saw four-year starters Jhivvan Jackson and Keaton Wallace – the two top scorers in program history – graduate. UTSA must replace the scoring punch of the dynamic duo in 2021-22, the second-highest scoring pair of any single recruiting class in NCAA history, while returning three starters.
