With only 14 field goals as a team, Cameron was once again able to rely on their solid free throw shooting to lead them to victory. The team sunk 23-36 (63.9%) from the free throw line. CU won the turnover battle 17-25, and also committed less personal fouls than NU, 27-25.
The aforementioned Aggie-leader tonight, Amber Schroer, recorded 13 points on 4-12 shooting with a game-high 14 rebounds. She also recorded a steal and the team’s only block in 30 minutes on the floor.

Throughout the CU-NU rematch on December 8, the NCAA’s official basketball mascot “J.J. Jumper” will be on hand to entertain the crowd and cheer on the Aggies. J.J. Jumper only makes a few select guest appearances each basketball season, so fans are encouraged to come out to Aggie Gym for all of the evening’s planned entertainment.
