Sophomore forward Jalen Deloach scored a team-high 15 points, freshman Alphonso “Fats” Billups scored 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting, and redshirt sophomore guard Jamir Watkins was the third Ram in double figures with 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting, including 2-of-4 from three-point range.

Junior guard Ace Baldwin Jr. had a nice all-around game with six points, a team-high seven assists and three rebounds.
