Last time out: 
Cameron found themselves in unfortunate familiar territory last Saturday, as they trailed by 22-points at halftime against Texas A&M-Kingsville.

The Aggies shot 43 percent from the field and made a season-high 12 shots from three-point range. They were also solid at the foul line as they went 17-20 from the charity stripe, but so were the Hogs, who were 23-27 from the free throw line. Brock Schreiner flirted with a triple-double with 22 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists while going a perfect 10-10 from the free throw line; Green added 20 points and three steals for CU.
