A three pointer by Schreiner with 7:30 left in the first tied the game at 22 and then after a made three by OC but them back on top by five, CU went on an 11-0 run to close out the half and take a 39-33 lead.

The Eagles would not go down quietly, cutting the Aggies lead to three on a Marco Foster three-pointer with just 18 seconds on the clock.
