With 27 seconds remaining, a sloppy reach-in foul committed by Texas Longhorns freshman guard Tre Johnson marked the 24th and final whistle against the Longhorns, leading to the 31st and 32nd free-throw attempts by the No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies. The two made free throws secured the final 80-60 margin at Reed Arena in College Station as the Aggies managed to push around the Longhorns while getting called for seven fewer fouls and attempting 12 more free throws.
It was a glaring disparity that helped Texas A&M turn a 37-37 game at halftime into a 20-point rout in the second half as Texas went 6-of-24 shooting from the floor, including 1-of-12 shooting from three-point range and turning the ball over six times in a disastrous 20 minutes of basketball.
