Texas A&M Stuns Auburn 90-88 After Buzzer-Beater Is Overturned on Review

The Aggies erased a 16-point second-half deficit behind Bucky McMillan’s pressure-heavy approach to start SEC play 2-0.

Overview

  • Officials ruled KeShawn Murphy’s deep inbounds heave left his hand after the horn following replay, nullifying the apparent winner and sealing Texas A&M’s road victory at Neville Arena.
  • An earlier review determined Pop Isaacs’ intentional missed free throw did not hit the rim, giving Auburn the ball with 0.6 seconds left before the final shot was waved off.
  • Pop Isaacs scored 21 off the bench, with Texas A&M’s press fueling a turnaround from down 61-45 to a late lead as the Aggies hit 13 threes and shot 52% from the field.
  • Auburn’s Keyshawn Hall posted 32 points and 12 rebounds, but the Tigers fell to 9-6 overall and 0-2 in the SEC as their strong home form took a hit.
  • Auburn coach Steven Pearl questioned the overturn and sought clarity from league officials, while the result moved Texas A&M to 12-3 and 2-0 in conference play.
