COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Rashaun Agee scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and Texas A&M beat LSU 75-72 on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.
Texas A&M (11-3, 1-0) has won four straight in the series and six of the last seven games against LSU (12-2, 0-1).
Agee’s dunk gave Texas A&M a 60-50 lead before LSU used a 14-3 run to lead 64-63 with 5:33 remaining. It then took more than two minutes before Agee’s free throw tied it 64-all. Agee later scored four points in a 5-2 spurt to give the Aggies a 69-66 lead with 1:58 to play.
The Tigers pulled within two points twice in the closing seconds before Rylan Griffen split a pair of free throws for the Aggies with three seconds left. Mazi Mosley missed a 3-pointer to end it.
Ruben Dominguez made four 3-pointers and finished with 13 points for Texas A&M. Ali Dibba scored 12 points and Pop Isaacs chipped in with 11.
Mike Nwoko scored 21 points to lead LSU. Max Mackinnon shot 4 of 9 from long range and scored 20 points. Rashad King added 10 points and Pablo Tamba grabbed 11 rebounds to go with six points.
Texas A&M jumped out to a nine-point lead midway through the first half before LSU answered with a 19-6 run for a 34-31 lead. Griffen and Dominguez each hit a 3 to give the Aggies a 37-34 halftime advantage.
