Devin Pullum took the Hounds into the halftime break with a one-point lead after drawing the foul on his lone three-pointer of the half.  Just as the Hounds went out with a three, they came back into the second half with a long shot from Isaiah Murphy. Deng Kuany put up two as the Hounds saw the last tie of the second half.
 
The Greyhounds stopped the Aggies for four minutes as they gained a ten-point lead. The Hounds moved out to the arc as  Jose Serrano knocked down back to back three-pointers while Brandon Meadows grabbed his last one of the night. Taking the Greyhound lead to 21 points, Ibn Zaid hit his third three-pointer for the night as the Hounds sailed through the remaining five minutes of play.
 
Isaiah Murphy finished the night with 17 points, five rebounds and three blocked shots. Brandon Meadows recorded twelve points while Deng Kuany rounded out the double-digits scoring with ten points and six rebounds. Jose Serrano added four assists to his career high 20.
