No. 25 Texas A&M stays hot, fends off No. 11 Tennessee before raucous crowd
COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M big men Henry Coleman III and Julius Marble this week were mulling the toughest venues they’ve played in this season when Coleman offered a suggestion that wasn’t on the menu.Coleman’s assertion was on target Tuesday night, as rowdy times returned to Reed Arena for yet another round, this time in the No. 25 Aggies’ 68-63 edging of No. 11 Tennessee before a packed house of fans decked in black shirts as part of the program’s “Black Out Reed Arena.
Marble made two free throws with 46 seconds remaining to lift A&M to a 64-61 lead and helped seal the Aggies’ sixth consecutive win. A&M guard Wade Taylor IV added two free throws of his own with 17 seconds left in the tight contest in shoving A&M to a 66-63 advantage. Taylor then tacked on two free throws with 3.1 seconds remaining to push the contest out of reach.
The Aggies head back on the road at Mississippi State on Saturday afternoon. The Bulldogs lost 66-64 in overtime Tuesday night at Missouri at the same time the Aggies were fighting the Volunteers to the final buzzer. A&M, on the outside looking in only a couple of weeks ago concerning the NCAA Tournament, is shaping up as perhaps a No. 7 or 8 seed in the postseason. The Aggies, who haven’t played in the NCAA Tournament since 2018, could continue helping themselves in the final stretch of the regular season.
