Star point guard Wade Taylor led the way in terms of scoring for the Ags, with 19 points. Guard Zhuric Phelps added 12 points, Jace Carter scored 16 off the bench, including 13 in the first half, and Solomon Washington led the team with nine total rebounds, including six offensive boards.

The Aggies led a close game at halftime, 34-31, and never looked back in the second half, going on an 11-0 run at one point to shut the door on their former foes for their fourth consecutive win of the season.
