The Dustdevils would take charge coming out of the intermission, retaking the lead on the first possession. The Aggies would take a 41-40 lead at the 17:48 mark, but a quick TAMIU response would steal the lead back and not surrender the rest of the way. International would extend their lead to as much as 11 points at 63-52. Cameron would try to claw back, getting the game within one score, but free throws late would put the game out of reach.
