No. 14 Texas A&M (22-10, 11-7 SEC) finished the regular season on a two-game winning streak, which included a critical win over then-No. 1-ranked Auburn, before entering this week's SEC Tournament. However, the Aggies' stay in Nashville was cut short after losing to rival Texas 94-89 in double overtime in the second round on Thursday afternoon.
Even though star guard Wade Taylor IV scored a game-high 29 points, Texas A&M's defense couldn't shut down Texas's offensive attack, as six Longhorns scored in double figures. In comparison, star freshman guard Tre Johnson led the team with 20 points, including a critical 3-pointer in the second overtime.
