Texas A&M dominated the second quarter as they outscored the Wildcats 26-15, as they showcased a lot of different players and shots. Jordan Webster got the second quarter going with a three-pointer, which was immediately followed by a three-pointer from Pryor that started to break the scoring open for the Aggies.

After allowing just five points in the start of the second quarter, the Aggies went on a heater as they were able to go up by 12 points. The A&M defense did not allow a Wildcat basket for over three minutes, while the A&M offense was able to put up nine straight points to extend the lead.

By the end of the half, the Aggies were completely in control of the game as they took a 41-28 lead into the locker room, with 20 minutes left to play.

The third quarter was filled with offense from both teams as 54 points were scored in just 10 minutes of play. The Wildcats were able to climb all the way back to make it just a three point game by the end of the third quarter, yet the Aggies still led 62-59.

With just one quarter left to play, the Wildcats tried to salvage the game in front of their own fans, yet the offense of the Aggies was too dominant as they were able to hit two three-pointers, three shots from the field and three free throws to solidify the win over Kansas State.
