Aggies Blow Past Beavers 83-73

The Texas A&M Aggies men's basketball team had its three-game winning streak snapped on Dec. 11 against TCU in Houston. But on Saturday night on the road at the Oregon State Beavers, it may have started another.

The 8-2 Aggies defeated the struggling 1-10 Beavers at Gill Coliseum 83-73.

A&M was led by Wade Taylor IV, who scored a team-high 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field. Quenton Jackson and Henry Coleman III each chipped in 16 points, while Coleman III also contributed five rebounds.

The Beavers shot better than the Aggies -- 52.0 percent to 48.4 -- but 20 turnovers plagued Oregon State. The Aggies cashed in, leading by as many as 23.

A&M led 36-29 at halftime and extended its lead in the opening minutes of the second half. The Aggies went on a 13-0 run to turn a 10-point advantage into a 68-45 lead.

A&M also had the edge in rebounds 33-26.

Jarod Lucas led Oregon State in scoring with 25 on 6-of-14 shooting, while Ahmad Rand was the only other Beaver in double digits with 11.

After beating Portland State to kick off the season Nov. 9 at home, Oregon State has now lost 10 in a row.

The Aggies' game against Tulane on Dec. 14 was canceled due to Covid-19 issues. A&M has added a game Dec. 27 at 7 p.m. CT at Reed Arena against the Dallas Christian Crusaders. That contest is free to attend and includes free parking and limited concessions.

The Aggies next face the Northwestern State Demons (3-9) at Reed Arena on Dec. 21 at 5 p.m. CT.
