The Ags started the game with a 9-0 run in the first quarter and never looked back. Dallas Baptist was well drilled and disciplined and this game provided both squads with much needed live game playing time to sharpen their skills for their 2019 campaigns.
Both teams were tested by the newly implemented 80-second shot clock and the Aggies would like to thank the Doc Hall Foundation for the generous donation of timing hardware.
