Kyle Crawford scored 20 points, leading the University of North Texas to a 91-88 victory over Texas A&M Monday night.
The victory was sealed when Aggie guard Andy Leatherman missed a 3-pointer with 5 seconds remaining. The Eagles' Brandon Gilbert grabbed the rebound to end the game.
Chris Davis added 19 points for North Texas (1-2). Deginald Erskin had 13, while Dexter Tennell and Gilbert each had 10.
Carlton Brown led Texas A&M (0-2) with 24 points. Bernard King had 23.
North Texas led the game by 18 points with just over 12 minutes left, but the Aggies began chipping away. They were aided by deadly free-throw shooting, and they cut the margin to 84-81 with 1:21 remaining. But Crawford came through with some clutch shooting for North Texas, including a 15-foot shot from the wing as the shot clock expired to give the Eagles an 86-81 advantage with 50 seconds left.
The Aggies weren't done, though. Brown's layup at the 14-second mark cut North Texas' lead to 90-88. Crawford was fouled and hit one of two free throws, then Leatherman missed the 3-pointer.
