PITTSBURGH – The Texas A&M men's basketball team represented its league in style with Tuesday's 81-73 victory over the Pitt Panthers in ACC/SEC Challenge action from the Petersen Events Center.

Texas A&M (7-2) went on a 15-2 run late in the game to grab a 75-65 lead with 1:07 remaining. Rashaun Agee's 3-pointer put an exclamation point on the surge as the Aggies pulled ahead by double digits. Pitt (5-4) hit two 3-pointers and a put-back jumper in the final 48 seconds, but A&M made 6-of-6 from the charity stripe to close the deal.

The Aggies hit 20-of-22 (90.9%) from the foul line, including 16-of-17 (94.1%) in the second half as the Maroon & White held on for their fifth consecutive victory, including back-to-back triumphs over ACC foes.

Agee dominated on the inside, recording his second consecutive double-double and his third of the season. He logged season highs with 21 points, four assists and four steals. He added 13 rebounds and two blocks.

Rubén Dominguez reached the 15-point plateau for the fourth consecutive game, logging 18 on 5-of-10 shooting from the field, including 4-of-8 from long range. Jacari Lane tallied 14 points, five assists and two steals.

Texas A&M never trailed the opening act, taking a 35-33 lead into halftime. The Aggies pounced on the Panthers early, building a 10-1 advantage in the first four minutes, but Pitt persisted. The home team shaved the deficit to one point on five occasions. The Maroon & White responded every time, including two layups and a dunk by Agee, who finished the first half with 11 points and seven rebounds.

Pitt nosed ahead for the first time early in the second half, 37-35, but Ol' Sarge's charges offered a rude response. They outscored the Panthers 22-8, staking claim to a 57-45 advantage at the 11:55 mark.

A brief scoring drought prevented the Aggies from pulling away. They missed eight consecutive shots as Pitt went on a 16-0 run to go ahead 61-57 at the 6:23 mark. Back-to-back layups by Lane and Rylan Griffen sparked Texas A&M's decisive run.
