Men’s Basketball Rolls Past Prairie View, 111-82

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The Texas A&M men's basketball team downed Prairie View, 111-82, at Reed Arena Monday night to close out non-conference play and set a new school record with its sixth 100-point game of the season. 
 
The Aggies (10-3) took control early and used a 17-2 run to go up 23-7 with 14:06 on the clock, forcing Prairie View (5-8) to call an early timeout. Texas A&M continued to push and got the difference to 20 before the midway point in the half, eventually taking a 60-39 lead into the break. 
 
The Maroon & White shot an impressive 68-percent (23-34) from the field in the first half. Rashaun Agee led the way with 15 points, knocking down two of the team's six 3-pointers, while Marcus Hill added 10 points in the opening period. 
 
Six early points from Hill and a 3-pointer from Rubén Dominguez helped the Aggies extend their advantage to 30 points in the first five minutes of the new half. The Panthers continued to fight and put together a 16-3 run of their own to make it 94-73 with under seven minutes to play, but Texas A&M halted the spree and closed out the victory. 
 
Agee led five Aggies in double figures with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Hill added 16 points. Texas A&M outrebounded the Panthers 50-36 and scored 52 of its points in the paint.
