LaDonn Huckaby and
Justin Walling scored six points each all by way of three pointers.
The Buffs, much like in the first meeting, hit 50 percent of their shots from the field. West Texas A&M hit 14 of 26 free throws on the night while the Rams hit six of nine from the charity stripe.
West Texas A&M was led by Donald Sims' 17 points.
