THE RUNDOWN
After a back-and-forth first half, No. 22 DBU outscored Texas A&M International by 19 in the second half, shooting 14-for-28 from the floor after halftime to complete the season sweep. The game saw two ties and three lead changes, none coming after Boy Van Vliet's three-pointer 1:10 into the second half. 

That shot sparked an 18-2 run that propelled the Patriots to their 21st consecutive home victory. Van Vliet and Jordan Manse combined for 21 points after intermission. 

TAMIU, which made 12 of 24 three-pointers against DBU on December 16, was 5-14 from distance Wednesday, including 2-9 in the second half. The Patriots outrebounded the Dustdevils 20-9 in the second half. Van Vliet finished with a game-high 16 points.

DBU HEAD COACH BLAKE FLICKNER ON A HARD-FOUGHT WIN
"I thought we did a much better job in the second half. We took better care of the ball. Boy made some good decisions off the bounce. Carter [Brown] had a great defensive game again, and Jordan hit shots. I thought that gave us a big lift."
