EDINBURG — The UTRGV women’s basketball team is set to take center stage at Bert Ogden Arena with a Western Athletic Conference game against Texas at Arlington at 6:30 p.m. today in Edinburg. It’ll be the first time the UTRGV women’s basketball team will play its own game at Bert Ogden Arena without a doubleheader also featuring the men’s basketball team. “We’re excited to be back at Bert Ogden Arena,” UTRGV head coach Lane Lord said. Junior guard Mele Kailahi finished with 22 points and Deborah Ogayemi added 12 in the UTRGV win. I think we have the talent to continue to get better and play our best basketball here at the end of the season.”
