This past weekend, the Texas A&M men’s basketball team dominated the second half of its conference opener against Texas to win the return of the Lone Star Showdown on the hardwood.
The No. 9 Aggies (12-2, 1-0 SEC) were tied at 37 with the Longhorns (11-3, 0-1) at halftime on Saturday night at Reed Arena. Then, Texas A&M asserted its dominance by outscoring Texas 43-23 in the final 20 minutes of action to ultimately win 80-60.
“Their shots were at the rim,” Longhorns head coach Rodney Terry said postgame. “Our shots were perimeter shots. If we make some of those shots, it’s a different game.”
Next up for the Aggies is a road contest against the SEC’s other new addition, No. 16 Oklahoma (13-1, 0-1). Texas A&M faces off against the Sooners tonight at 8 p.m. from the Lloyd Noble Center on the SEC Network.
