SAN ANGELO, Texas – Brock Schreiner notched a career high 22 points as they Aggie men's basketball team held on for a big 68-62 win over Angelo State on Thursday night.

The Aggies got off to a hot start, after ASU got on the board first, CU used a 12-2 run to take an early seven point lead with just over five minutes gone in the half. After trading buckets, Angelo State went on a run of their own two cut the lead down to two, but CU jumped back up by seven thanks to a three pointer from Tyus Momoh at the 8:32 mark. From there the Aggies went cold.

Schreiner answered an ASU layup with one of his own at the 7:31 mark, but that would be CU's last FG of the first half. Cameron went on an almost six minute scoring drought that was halted by a pair of Momoh layups with 1:19 to play in the frame. That allowed the home team to jump back ahead by three, 29-26, heading into the break.

Despite their fast start, Cameron shot just 29.4 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from the perimeter during the first 20 minutes of play. The Rams shot almost 10 percent better than their opponents, but went just 1-9 from the perimeter; they also controlled the glass 22-15.

Momoh led all scorers with eight points at halftime, while Schreiner had seven and James Kirksey led Angelo State with six points and six rebounds.

Cameron used a 14-2 run to start the second half to give them a 44-35 lead with 13:41 to play, forcing ASU to call a timeout. That timeout allowed the Ram defense to regroup and force CU into another scoring drought that allowed the home team to get back to within four. However, Schreiner knocked down a couple of threes in the next couple of minutes to put the Aggies back up by nine with 5:04 on the clock.

Angelo State would not go away, keeping the deficit around six by answering each CU score with one of their own. They even got to within three twice, once at the 1:09 mark and another time with 34 ticks on the clock. Unlike their opposition, Cameron was clutch with their free throw shooting down the stretch, going a perfect 8-8 in the final minute to secure the 68-62 win.

Schreiner's 22 points came on an efficient 7-10 shooting from the field, 4-5 from three, and 4-6 from the foul line. Jordan Lewis chipped in 17 points while hitting all six of his free throw attempts, and Jalen Nicholas added 15 points and six rebounds while going a perfect 5-5 from the foul line. Momoh finished with eight points, six rebounds, and five assists.

As a team, Cameron shot just 32.8 percent from the floor and was 6-17 from the perimeter, but missed just two of their 20 free throw attempts, which was the difference as Angelo State went just 14-25 from the foul line.

The not only struggled shooting free throws, but also struggled from the field, going 22-60 from the floor and 4-22 from the perimeter. Ronald Bell and Antonio Singleton led the way for ASU, scoring 13 points each.

Cameron now sits at 7-11 overall with the win and 3-5 in league play, while ASU is now 12-5 on the season and 5-3 against Lone Star Conference opponents.

The Aggies will look to get their third straight conference win on Saturday, as they visit Texas A&M-Kingsville to wrap up the first half of league play.
