A good news-bad news night for the two Lone Star Conference schools in the Pro News Seven area on Tuesday night. The good, West Texas A&M swept two games at A&M Commerce. The bad, Eastern New Mexico got swept at Tarleton State. The mens game especially tough to take considering that ENMU had a 16 point halftime lead but could not hang on for the win.
