WICHITA FALLS, Texas – Delvonte Pierre scored 28 points and hauled in 11 rebounds to lead Cameron to an 83-74 win over Midwestern State to snap the Mustangs' six-game win streak Tuesday evening at D.L. Ligon Coliseum.
 
A three-pointer by Jordan Lewis with 14:11 remaining in the second half gave Cameron (13-6, 6-3 LSC) a lead it would not relinquish at 46-45. Midwestern State (12-5, 5-4 LSC) stayed within a possession of the Aggies over the next four minutes until Cameron slowly stretched its lead out in the latter part of the half, taking its largest lead of the game at 11 with 57 seconds remaining.
 
Pat Smith connected on a three-pointer to bring the Mustangs within five with 2:37 to play for their smallest deficit in the final five minutes before Pierre responded with a three of his own on the ensuing possession to keep the Mustangs from coming any closer.
 
Cameron began the game on an 11-3 run with Brandon Neel's triple to open the contest being MSU's lone basket until B.J. Jenkins also connected from deep at the 13:09 mark to bring the Mustangs within five. The Aggies extended their lead to 10 midway through the first half before the Mustangs put together a 9-0 run with six points coming from Shawn Nottingham to pull within one at 18-17.
 
With Cameron holding a 27-21 lead with 4:42 before halftime, MSU mounted another comeback with a 14-2 spurt with Nottingham and Igor Ibaka each tallying seven points to give the Mustangs a 35-29 advantage. A pair of triples by Pierre cut the Cameron deficit to one at the half, 36-35.
