The Buffs came out on top with a final score of 82-58 over the mustangs. This advances the Buffs record to 28-1 overall and 20-1 in the Lone Star Conference.The first half was close as the Mustangs refused to go down quietly. They tied the game up at 28-28 with just under 4 minutes remaining in the first half. Then the Buffs starting sophomore guard, Joel Murray, splashes a 3-pointer to take the lead and that also helped him to surpass 1000 points for his career total. He would end the game with 15 points total. The Buffs went into the locker room with a 35-30 halftime lead. 

In the second half, they came out firing away with bucket after bucket. A few minutes into the second half they spark a 13-0 run and never looked back.
