First Tip: Cameron will be honoring seven seniors prior to Saturday's game against Midwestern State.  The Aggies will send off Will cook, Kimric Dixon, Craig Foster, Jonathan Patino, Asaad Robinson, Trevor Smith, and Aaron Thompson who will step onto the floor of the Aggie Gym one last time with Foster, Patino, and Smith sharing the court for four seasons.   

The game is a fitting way to end the regular season at home with homecoming being celebrated and facing CU's rival across the Red River, Midwestern State.   Cameron would like to take back their last meeting at Midwestern after leading at halftime by 16 points to only fall later in overtime 70-67.   

This will be the 66th meeting between the Aggies and Mustangs with MSU commanding the series 42-23 over Cameron.  In their last ten meetings Cameron is 1-9 with their lone win coming last season in Lawton.  In the four-year era, at home the Aggies do have the series lead 19-13 over the Mustangs.

The game with Mustangs is the final regular season contest for both teams prior to the Lone Star Conference Tournament in Allen, Texas. 

Standing Scenarios: Cameron is locked in as either the five or six seed for the Lone Star Conference Tournament.  The Aggies need a loss from Eastern New Mexico along with a Cameron win over Midwestern to move up in the LSC standings.

In event of a tie with Texas A&M Commerce the Lions would get the higher seed with a win against Angelo State.  If Cameron were to tie with Eastern New Mexico the Aggies would be award the higher seed by defeating Midwestern State who is locked in as the number-two seed.

If all three teams were to tie at the end of the season, Texas A&M Commerce would be the four seed and face Cameron who would be the five seed.

If Cameron were to lose they will be the six seed regardless.  In event that Angelo State were to lose on Saturday and wins by Texas A&M Commerce and Eastern New Mexico, the Aggies would face Commerce due to defeating Tarleton State on Saturday.   Angelo State would face Eastern New Mexico in the four vs. five matchup in Allen.  If there was a two-way tie between Angelo State and Commerce, the tiebreaker goes to Commerce; if Angelo and Eastern  New Mexico were to tie, the tiebreaker would go to Angelo State.
