Texas A&M Edges LSU 75-72 in SEC Opener Behind Agee’s Double-Double

Texas A&M begins conference play retooling around small lineups following Mackenzie Mgbako’s season-ending foot injury.

Overview

  • Rashaun Agee posted 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Rylan Griffen split two free throws with three seconds left to close out the win.
  • The Aggies improved to 11-3 overall and 1-0 in the SEC, making it four straight victories over LSU and six in their last seven meetings.
  • Texas A&M controlled the glass 38-30 despite a size deficit and got key scoring from Ruben Dominguez (13), Ali Dibba (12) and Pop Isaacs (11).
  • First-year coach Bucky McMillan earned his first SEC win as A&M used late full-court pressure and its up-tempo style to regain the lead.
  • With Indiana transfer Mgbako out for the season, A&M is leaning on small-ball lineups and bench production as it visits Auburn on Tuesday.
