Tied at 44

Foul puts A&M in bonus. First good

Walton missed layup for lead and fouled after

But not for long

NORSE LEAD

Aggies 41-39 with under 10 left

Aggies up 4 now

Norse two more missed 3s that could have taken the lead.

Correction hit 1. 38-37 now

NKU 1 for 5 from foul line. Williams could have tied it but 0 for 3 now from line

Down 2 at the under 12 media TO

Norse with 2 threes and a runout. Down 1 now

35-28 Media time out. NKU hasn't gotten off a decent shot last 4 times down the floor. Williams got stuffed twice inside and shot clock on last possession. Need to hit something inside or outside or this will get ugly.

NKU had it down to 3 but now game getting away. Getting swatted inside. Down 7

NKU outscored A&M 20 to 18 in points in the paint in first half. That means NKU had one 3 and 20 points in the paint and 0 from elsewhere.

The point is everyone keeps saying declining enrollment like it is something new. It has been declining since the 1960s when there was 7 Catholic grade schools in Northern Campbell Co and now there is 1 small one. Pick 1967, 1977, 1987, 1997, 2007, 2017 and it will have gone down in every period. This isn't anything new. Their football roster has been 40-45 pretty consistently since 2000. Enrollment was declining under Schneider and declining when Eviston took over and it was declining when Wagner took over. That does not really have an effect on football.

NKU 1 for 15 from 3 point. A&M not much better. Ugly game. No fouls, no made shots.

NKU holding their own on boards and getting some looks inside. Just not making anything. Defense has been decent and forced some turnovers. Neither team made it to the bonus. Texas A&M 29 NKU 23 Halftime

Woah McDonald finally hits a 3. Now NKU 1 for 14

Williams misses 2 FTs

0 for 13. Texas A&M not much better. Maybe 2 for 10.

Texas A&M has never lost in their building as a ranked team playing a non-conference foe.

These are wide open 3s as Texas A&M is letting NKU shoot from 3 but not allowing anything inside. Wise choice since NKU is one of top D1 teams in 2 point FG %. Probably not in top 200 in 3 point %

29-20 with 3:03 left in half

0 for 12 now as two more misses in 1 possession
