Balanced scoring extends Texas A&M’s winning streak vs. Oklahoma

Rashaun Agee had 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead a balanced scoring attack and help Texas A&M beat Oklahoma 83-76 on Saturday in College Station, Texas.

Five players scored in double figures for the Aggies, who have won six consecutive games.

Ruben Dominguez and Rylan Griffen scored 14 each, Pop Isaacs added 13 and Marcus Hill 10.

The Aggies (13-3, 3-0 SEC) turned a one-point deficit into an eight-point lead late in the second half with a 10-1 run, as Oklahoma went more than 4:30 without a field goal, missing six consecutive shots.

But with just more than two minutes remaining, Mohamed Wague scored his first points of the game for the Sooners, pulling down a rebound then going right back up and scoring through a foul for a three-point play.

Wague then cut the deficit to three with a minute remaining with a jumper.

But Agee hit a layup to end a long possession, then the Sooners called their final timeout after picking up their dribble in the backcourt and then coming out of that timeout, Kuol Atak was called for traveling.

Isaacs then hit a pair of free throws with 16 seconds left to put the game away.

Oklahoma has taken care of the ball for much of the season, but Texas A&M’s defense made things difficult for the Sooners for much of the game.

The Aggies forced 11 first-half turnovers, and the Sooners finished with a season-high 17 turnovers overall.

Texas A&M finished with just eight turnovers and outscored Oklahoma 18-8 off turnovers.

The Aggies led by as many as 10 in the first half, but Oklahoma fought back to tie it with a 20-10 run.

Nijel Pack scored seven points during the Sooners’ run before Griffen’s 3-pointer just before the buzzer sent Texas A&M into halftime with a 48-45 lead.

Pack led Oklahoma with 24 points, hitting six 3-pointers. He also had six rebounds and five assists.

Derrion Reid added 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Tae Davis scored 12 with 10 rebounds.

The Sooners (11-5, 1-2) have dropped back-to-back games.
