WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Nolan Richardson didn't score 30 points in his fourth-straight game Tuesday night against Texas-Permian Basin.

But the senior guard did drop in 12 of his team-high 16 points in the second and his teammates proved they could pick up the scoring slack as the Mustangs used a late 15-2 run to claim their fourth-straight win by a 67-60 margin at D.L. Ligon Coliseum.
