Additionally, Ryan Flores scored 12 of his own, and Francis Doe rounded out the double-digit scoring Rams with 11 points. Sallee and Davon Berry also had three steals each.
 
The Rams kept the pace up against OPSU in the first half, leading by as much as 12 points. Around the six-minute mark, the Aggies went on a 7-0 run to get within two possessions of TXWES. However, the Rams would limit OPSU to just one more basket before the break, carrying a 33-23 lead at the half.
 
In the first frame, the Rams out shot the Aggies from the field 45 percent (13-for-29) to 30 percent (9-for-30) and each team made 3 treys.
 
Although OPSU improved their shooting to 52 percent in the second half, TXWES also advanced to 57 percent and out shot the Aggies in the long ball, draining 8 treys to their four. The Rams also made 14-of-15 of their free throws.
 
TXWES built their lead to as much as 30 and cruised to a 95-69 victory for their first league win of the season.
