No. 13 Texas A&M Hosts Oklahoma, Looks to Rebound from Tough Loss

Texas A&M aims to recover after a heartbreaking defeat to rival Texas, while Oklahoma seeks momentum in a critical SEC showdown.

Texas A&M Eyes Growth After Blown Lead

The No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies return to College Station looking to shake off a gut-wrenching 70-69 loss to rival Texas on Saturday. The Aggies let a 22-point lead slip away in the final 17 minutes, with the Longhorns sealing the win on a layup with 3.7 seconds left. Wade Taylor IV led the Aggies with 15 points but missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Head coach Buzz Williams acknowledged the lessons his team needs to take away from the defeat. “At times in the second half, we weren’t accountable for what we have to do,” Williams said. “At this level, you can never think anything is over.”

Despite the loss, Texas A&M showcased its strength on the boards, dominating the Longhorns 43-27 in rebounds and 20-7 in second-chance points. The Aggies lead Division I in offensive rebounding, averaging 16.5 per game. They’ll aim to leverage this advantage in Tuesday’s matchup against Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Seeks Third Straight Win

The Sooners head to Texas A&M on a two-game win streak after a gritty 65-62 victory at Arkansas on Saturday. Freshman Jeremiah Fears continued his stellar season, scoring 16 points, while Jalon Moore added 13, including the go-ahead free throw in the final moments and a buzzer-beating dunk.

“Everybody contributed — there was toughness and execution,” Oklahoma coach Porter Moser said of the win, which marked the Sooners’ first victory in Fayetteville since 2001.

Fears, who has scored 16 or more points in three consecutive games, has been a standout for Oklahoma, reaching double figures in 18 of 19 contests this season. The Sooners are finding their stride after starting their first SEC season with a 2-4 record and earning their fourth Quad 1 win with the Arkansas triumph.

Key Matchup

This game pits Texas A&M’s dominance on the offensive glass against Oklahoma’s resilience. The Sooners will need to limit the Aggies’ second-chance opportunities, while Texas A&M must bounce back mentally after a tough loss.
