No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies vs. Texas Longhorns, SEC Tournament: Live Game Updates

It seems to appear that we have a tiebreaker upon us.

The No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies will square off against the Texas Longhorns in the third Lone Star battle on the court this season.

Each team boasts a home win over the other, with the Aggies taking a hefty 80-60 victory in College Station on January 4 to open up the conference play, and the Longhorns took a last-second victory three weeks later inside the Moody Center.

Fast forward a month and a half later, and the two schools meet again, this time in round two of the SEC Tournament.

The Longhorns sit just above .500 with an 18-14 record, while the Aggies ride in on a 22-9 record as well as an upset of then-No. 1 Auburn a little over a week ago.

Thanks to their high seeding in the conference bracket, Texas A&M received a bye through the first round, while the Longhorns had to endure a tough first round battle just yesterday against the Vanderbilt Commodores, ultimately winning 79-72.

Tip-off is set for 2:30 p.m. on the SEC Network from Nashville, and we will be right here with live updates as the action unfolds on the court from the Bridgestone Arena.

FIRST HALF

Under-16 Media Timeout

The Aggies strike first with a bucket by Henry Coleman III, but a controversial no call on a potential goaltend the next possession prevents additional points for the Aggies. Manny Obaseki sinks a three to give the Aggies an early lead and later draws a foul and sinks both free throws. Solomon Washington comes through with a clean block to keep the lead for Texas A&M.

Under-12 Media Timeout

Andersson Garcia comes out of the timeout and nails a dagger from beyond the arc to extend the Aggie lead, only for Texas guard Tre Johnson to answer right back with a long shot of his own. After a back-and-forth contest of blocked shots and intense defense, Wade Taylor sinks an and-1 shot to reach 2,000 career points for his career.

A defensive first few minutes has kept it close up to this point.

Texas A&M 12, Texas 11

Under-8 Media Timeout

A couple missed three-pointers for the Aggies allow the Longhorns to take a 15-12 lead for a short time, until Zhuric Phelps buries a three-pointer to tie it up. Texas sinks a free throw to take the one-point lead.

An understandably physical matchup resulted in two quick fouls by Andersson Garcia, and an offensive rebound by Henry Coleman leads to a Manny Obaseki two-pointer to regain the lead for the Maroon and White.

HALFTIME

Four straight baskets lead to a 24-17 lead for Texas, who only continue to grow the lead after only committing two turnovers the entire game and taking advantage of A&M's struggling paint defense. The best offensive rebounding team in the country, the Aggies only have three so far after the first half. The Aggies keep the deficit to single digits with a couple of free throws by Pharrel Payne and a runner by Zhuric Phelps.

Another offensive rebound leads to Garcia's fourth three-pointer of the game, cutting the lead to one.

Tre Johnson heats up and sinks another three, bringing him up to 15 points and giving Texas a five-point lead. Wade Taylor sinks a bucket plus a free throw to become the all-time leading scorer in the SEC Tournament, with his 188th point.

END OF REGULATION:

The Aggies storm back to tie the contest, 73-73.

First OT:

A pair of free throws by Wade Taylor and a three-pointer by Manny Obaseki quickly puts the Ags up by five.

The Horns would come back however, scoring a basket with just five seconds left. A runner by Wade Taylor is no good, and we now go to a second overtime.
