Ok so maybe Braswell’s not going to chew them up at halftime. The Matadors have really picked up the intensity. I’ll just tell you this: They had Braswell up on his feet, clapping and telling them “great hustle!”

“Good job, Willie (Galick)! Great job!,” he said.

This sudden, end-of-the-half surge has CSUN up 47-39. Had it not been for a couple of tough makes from Joe Harden of UC Davis, this would be a double-digit lead.

Vince Oliver of the Aggies leads all scorers with 14 points

For the Matadors, Tremaine Townsend is the high-point man with 12. Rob Haynes has 11.
