Texas A&M tops Mississippi, but needs help to have shot at SEC title
Texas A&M forward Julius Marble and Mississippi forward Myles Burns crash into each other as they pursue a rebound during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Oxford, Miss., Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2023. Texas A&M did its part to set up a showdown for the Southeastern Conference title. Now the Aggies need the Auburn Tigers to do theirs.
The scene will be quite different Saturday morning in A&M’s Reed Arena, when the No. 24 Aggies host No. 2 Alabama. Should Auburn upset the Crimson Tide on Wednesday night in Tuscaloosa, Ala., the Aggies will try and force a tie for the SEC regular-season title. A&M has won its most league games since joining the SEC in the summer of 2012. The Aggies’ best prior finish in SEC play was 13-5 with a team that advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Tuesday’s outcome was in doubt with less than two minutes remaining until A&M forward Andersson Garcia collected a steal and a slam dunk with 1:23 remaining to shove the Aggies to an insurmountable 65-59 lead.
