UT Arlington wraps up their non-conference schedule as they host Austin College Tuesday at 7 p.m.

The game was rescheduled from Nov. 30 after icy weather conditions postponed the game.

UT Arlington is 4-8 in non-conference games this season.

Freshman Ro'ger Guignard is making a strong case for Southland Conference freshman of the year honors. The Mesquite native leads the league's freshmen with 10.2 points per game. He could become the first Maverick to average in double figures as a freshman since Bill Washington in 1996-97.

Junior center Jermaine Griffin ranks 11th nationally in field-goal percentage with 64.0% (121-189) from the field this season.

For the first time this season, UT Arlington held their opponents under 70 points in back-to-back games after allowing 65 points to both Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin.

Tuesday's meeting will be the first between UT Arlington and Austin College since the Mavs defeated AC 101-45 on Dec. 3, 1991.

UT Arlington returns to Southland Conference play Saturday when the Mavs travel to Texas State for a 7 p.m. at Strahan Coliseum.
