LAWTON, Okla. – The Cameron Aggies fall just short of the West Texas A&M Buffs on Thursday night in the Aggie Gym despite offensive heroics from Jaylan Thomas.
The Aggies rolled into this week with a ton of momentum, arguably the most they have had all season after capturing their first two Lone Star Conference wins of the season a week ago. Though life in the LSC never gets easier, this week, the Black-and-Gold would be tasked with taking on two top-of-the-class programs with West Texas A&M tonight and Lubbock Christian on Saturday.
CU hung in this game until the end, narrowly falling 83-79, despite Thomas logging a career-high as a trio of Aggies finish with double-figures.
Thomas was incredible in this one, hitting tough shot after tough shot on his way to 27 points, six rebounds, and two assists while shooting 70 percent from the floor and 6-for-11 from beyond the arc.
Reggie Prudhomme made the offense sing, dishing out a team-high six assists with many more left on the table while he also got going in the scoring department posting 16 points in this game on 6-of-9 shooting.
Jaden Okon was stellar off the bench and the third Aggie in double-digits as he turned in 17 points, eight rebounds, and plenty of tough finishes around the rim.
West Texas A&M Guard Julius Brown matched Thomas' 27 points with five assists and as many rebounds to lift the Buffs past the Aggies on Thursday.
Up next, Cameron will play host to the Lubbock Christian Chaps at 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon in the Aggie Gym.
