[Men's Basketball] OLLU men's basketball stuns NCAA D1 Texas State University with late-game heroics

SAN MARCOS, TEXAS (Dec. 12, 2020) – The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) men's basketball team stunned NCAA D1 Texas State University (TXST) 61-58 to improve to 1-1 this season. OLLU previously upset Texas State back in 2010 in a thrilling 127-126 overtime victory. This is Head Coach Chris Dial's first victory over an NCAA D1 program as he enters his third season.Dial commented on the game, "I'm really proud of the players and how they represented themselves and OLLU. We played hard as a team and showed a lot of composure. We were down by nine points with nine minutes left and never gave up. We played our best defensive game this season. In the middle of a pandemic, it's not about the scoreboard, it's about safety and mental health. We had one of our best practices this week and it was nice to see that effort come to fruition. Texas State has a great staff and we felt fortunate to produce a winning outcome."
