AUSTIN, Texas - Concordia Texas men's basketball seniors Antoine Henderson and Antwan Stephens were honored in the final home game of the season for Senior Day. The Tornados fell in a 87-82 nail-biter against UT-Dallas inside the CTX Fieldhouse on Saturday.

The first half was action-packed and featured nine lead changes. Neither team led by more than seven points in the first as the Comets carried a 43-40 advantage into the intermission.

UT-Dallas pushed their lead to 71-60 with 9:24 left. Making a final push, a thunderous putback slam by Tariq Muhammad initiated a surge where Concordia cut the lead down to as little as 85-82 with 18 seconds left. The Comets would capitalize on their free throws to escape with the narrow victory.
