The basketball rims in Wisdom Gym seemed to have a lid on the rims Wednesday as the Texans shot just 28 percent in their own gym, falling to Texas A&M-Kingsville, 51-45.
The Texans had won the last 13 contests, dating back to TAMUK's last victory on Jan. 26, 2002 in Kingsville (71-69). Tarleton had won the last 10 contests in Stephenville over the Javelinas, dating back to a 78-74 TAMUK win on Jan. 10, 2000.
The Texans were outrebounded and went 1-15 from the three-point arc with the only three coming with 3.9 seconds left in regulation on a desperation three by Eric Williams from the top of the key.
Tarleton will return to action Saturday, Jan. 17 at Angelo State in San Angelo at 8 p.m. The Texans fell to 12-4 and 0-1 in the South Division with the loss.

The TexAnns also lost at home to TAMUK. Not much defense was present on Wednesday during the girls game as the TexAnns let the South Division opener slip from their grasps.
Tarleton, who was up 43-30 at the break thanks to a 13-3 run to finish the first period, fell to the Javelinas 82-78 after being outscored 52-35 in the second half.
The TexAnns will also return to action at ASU on Saturday. Tip-off for the women is set for 6 p.m.
