In search of their first conference tournament title since 1987, Texas A&M fell short against the Tennessee Volunteers in the SEC Tournament final on Sunday afternoon, losing 65-50 at Amalie Arena in Tampa.
The Aggies got out to a sluggish start, allowing Tennessee to run out to a 12-0 lead to begin the game. Despite A&M going 0-10 from beyond the arc in the first half, they cut that lead to nine at the break, and down to just five early in the second half. But Tennessee’s size advantage, three-point shooting and defensive pressure proved to be too much to overcome for a team playing it’s fourth game in four days.
