TYLER, Texas -- The UT Tyler men's basketball team added a non-conference matchup on Friday, Dec. 18 at 2 p.m. with Dallas Christian College to its 2020-21 schedule, head coach Louis Wilson announced Monday.

The Patriots will host Dallas Christian College, which currently has a 2-1 overall record and has also played 9 exhibition games since late October. The teams have met three times previously, all in the previous two seasons, with UT Tyler going 3-0 in head-to-head matchups including last year's 114-61 home win.
