Teo Simic records first NCAA double-double for UT Arlington

Teo Simic notched his first NCAA double-double on November 10, 2026, playing for UT Arlington in a victory over Bethesda. The Macedonian international finished the game with 12 points and 13 rebounds while on the floor for 22 minutes.

Consistent impact in limited minutes

This was Simic’s fourth appearance of the season and came in a match that extended UT Arlington’s strong start to a 3-1 record. Coaches and teammates have singled him out as one of the squad’s more reliable contributors early in the campaign.

During the contest, Simic made his presence felt mainly in the paint, securing extra possessions and making the physical plays that helped his team control the boards. His stat line — 12 points, 13 rebounds in just 22 minutes — underlined how productive he has been when inserted into the rotation.

Social channels from the programme highlighted his performance after the game. The team posted: "Simic doing his thing in the paint 🤙 #BuckEm 🐎 | #BuiltDifferent https://t.co/9yLuUkGbcD" — UT Arlington Men’s Basketball (@UTAMavsMBB) November 10, 2026

Simic’s double-double will be watched closely by supporters back home: he remains a member of North Macedonia’s national team and is building momentum as the NCAA season progresses. UT Arlington will look to keep their positive form when they return to action in the coming days.
