Texas A&M Wins 90–88 at Auburn After Buzzer-Beater Is Overturned on Review

A precise replay check on the clock and an earlier rim-graze ruling set up the final 0.6 seconds and left Auburn seeking an explanation.

Overview

  • Officials ruled KeShawn Murphy’s long 3-pointer left his hand after time expired, reversing the on-court call and sealing Texas A&M’s road victory.
  • Moments before the heave, replay confirmed Pop Isaacs’ intentional missed free throw grazed the rim, producing an Auburn inbound with 0.6 seconds remaining.
  • Texas A&M erased a 16-point second‑half deficit behind its pressure defense and bench scoring, led by Isaacs’ 21 points.
  • Auburn fans threw debris and disrupted Bucky McMillan’s postgame TV interview as the Aggies’ coach defended the ruling and quipped, “Don’t be a millisecond late.”
  • The result moves Texas A&M to 12-3 (2-0 SEC) and Auburn to 9-6 (0-2), with Steven Pearl requesting clarification on the reversal as A&M hosts Oklahoma and Auburn hosts Arkansas next.
