ENMU basketball capsules - Feb. 15

Men

ENMU (13-10, 6-8 Lone Star Conference)

at Tarleton State (21-3, 12-2)

• When: 7 p.m. (MST) today at Stephenville, Texas.

• Radio: KSEL-FM 105.9.

• Last time out: The Greyhounds lost on Saturday at Abilene Christian 79-68. The fifth-ranked Texans lost at No. 9 Midwestern State 80-75 in three overtimes on Monday, falling behind the Mustangs (21-2, 14-2) and out of the LSC lead.

• Last meeting: TSU edged ENMU 55-52 at Portales on Jan. 4, the Hounds' only home loss this season (8-1).

• Of note: The injury-riddled Hounds face a monumental task in this one. They have four players still out with injury, and on Monday coach Andrew Helton suspended senior G Reggie Nelson, the team's scoring leader (16.2 ppg), for two games for "a violation of team policy." Nelson will miss Saturday's home game against Texas A&M-Commerce and be eligible to return a week from tonight at home against Cameron. "He just made a mistake and he's got to pay the consequences," Helton said. "We'll just have to weather through this." … Helton said he hopes ENMU, which will have eight players in uniform tonight, can get some of its walking wounded back for Saturday's game. … This is a big week for Tarleton, which visits third-place West Texas A&M (15-6, 9-5) on Saturday. … The Texans are 16-1 at home, with the only loss coming in November to Washburn (61-57). … Tarleton has actually lost two of three, falling at Incarnate Word 62-51 on Feb. 4. … Leading scorers for TSU are 6-1 senior G Chris Harrell (13.0 ppg), 6-7 senior F/C Fabian Wilson (12.0) and 6-0 senior G Shedrick Haynes (10.8). Wilson also grabs seven rebounds per contest.
