Second Half

The Aggies opened the third quarter by extending to a 12-point lead, but Trigueiro snapped their scoring spree and sparked the Southern Utah offense with back-to-back triples. Chambers capitalized on the momentum, racking up an incredible 16 third-quarter points while missing only one shot. Southern Utah headed into the final stretch down one in a 46-45 duel.

The Thunderbirds carried their momentum into a tremendous 15-3 run, highlighted by multiple scores from Uhrich and Chambers. Having secured a comfortable cushion, Southern Utah coasted to a stunning 69-59 comeback win.
