SAN ANGELO – The Angelo State men's basketball team shot 53.3 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from three-point range in the first half as they claimed a 76-62 victory over UT Tyler on Saturday afternoon inside the Junell Center – Stephens Arena in a game where they never trailed.

Ten of the Rams' 16 makes from the field in the first half came from three-point range; their 15 made threes today is a single-game high this season.

DJ Freeman flirted with a double-double for the second game in a row, scoring eight points and grabbing 13 rebounds as the Rams dominated the rebounding battle, winning 46-33.

After not grabbing double-digit rebounds in any game this season, Freeman has done so in the past three games, averaging 13.3 rebounds in the last three games.
