'Bucky Ball' Brings New Hope in Season Opening Win to Aggieland

On Monday night in College Station, Ruben Dominguez scored 18 points to lead the Texas A&M Aggies to a season-opening win over the Northwestern State Demons.
Aggie pressure forced Demon turnovers that converted into points and a second-chance edge, while a deep rotation supplied substantial bench scoring and helped the Aggies dictate tempo.
A&M shot efficiently at 49.5% overall and 11 of 31 on 3-pointers, while guards Rylan Griffen and Josh Holloway supplied backcourt scoring with Holloway hitting 5 of 6 shots.
Up at halftime, the Aggies opened the second half with a Dominguez 3 and a Federiko dunk off a steal, maintaining control as Griffen and Holloway combined for 8 assists and 5 steals.
Northwestern State countered with Micah Thomas making all four of his 3s and multiple free throws, while Omar Adegbola added 14 points but the Demons shot only 39.5%.
