When UT Arlington travels to San Francisco on Monday night, it will be looking to snap its three-game losing streak. Despite losing to Texas State 71-65, the Mavericks have not played in more than a week. After winning six of its first six games, San Francisco lost three of its last six.
The Mavericks are trying to fix their shooting problems
In late November, UT Arlington defeated Northern Kentucky as a 7.5-point underdog as its only win over a Division I team this season. Against non-Division I teams, the Mavericks won three games without Vegas point spreads. In their most recent games, they lost to LSU, North Texas, and Texas State. While losing to LSU and North Texas, UT Arlington covered the respective double-digit spreads before barely failing to cover the 5-point spread against Texas State. The Mavericks have been off since that Dec. 10 loss.
They rank second last of 363 teams with an effective field goal percentage of 40.5. UT Arlington shoots 27.3% from 3-point range, 40.2% from 2-point range, and 66.9% from the line. Additionally, the Mavericks have struggled with turnovers, giving up the ball on more than 21% of their possessions. On Monday, they will have a slight height advantage thanks to their offensive rebounding, which is 41 nationally. The San Francisco 49ers have been a strong defensive squad, ranking seventh in defensive rebounding and inside the top 90 in field goal percentage. Shemar Wilson leads a UT Arlington lineup without any double-digit scorers, averaging 9.9 points and 8.2 rebounds.
