Dia made another basket, but the Aggies scored six straight to get within one point. Pedulla hit a 3-pointer and a jumper to help the Rebels push the lead to six. Obaseki's 3-pointer and jumper help Texas A&M get within 49-47 with 8:16 remaining.

Davon Barnes missed the front end of a one-and-one for the Rebels before Obaseki hit his 3-pointer. Brakefield missed a jump shot before time expired.
