Solomon Washington was another key contributor, scoring 11 points along with seven rebounds and three blocks.
The Commodores dropped their record down to 6-17 with that defeat, which was their sixth straight on the road. That rough patch could be blamed on the team’s lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 61.5 points per game. As for the Aggies, they are on a roll lately: they’ve won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 15-8 record this season.
