BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The Texas A&M men's basketball team drained 17 3-point field goals in Saturday's 92-69 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks inside Reed Arena.
The Aggies (16-4, 6-1 SEC) knocked down 17-of-39 (43.6%) from triple town. The tally was the most ever for Texas A&M in an SEC contest and one shy of the school record of 18 set earlier this season against Manhattan.

Zach Clemence paced the Aggies with 21 points in just 15 minutes of action. He sank 7-of-8 from 3-point range. His .875 3-point percentage in the game matched Lynn Suber (1989) and Antoine Wright (2005) for the highest by an Aggie with six or more attempts.
Rylan Griffen added 16 points, six rebounds and five assists. Rashaun Agee tallied 11 points and seven rebounds. Pop Isaacs had 11 points, four rebounds and three assists.
The Aggies also did damage on the boards, posting a 43-30 rebounding margin as they won for the ninth time in the last 10 games.
South Carolina (11-9, 2-5 SEC) raced out to a 14-7 lead and nursed it to 19-16 at the 10:15 mark before Texas A&M went on an overwhelming run. The Aggies rained down eight 3-pointers, including three each by Clemence and Rubén Dominguez, during a 29-2 surge spanning 9:03.
After emerging from halftime with a 46-25 advantage, the Aggies inflated the cushion to 70-38 at the 12:30 mark of the second half. The Gamecocks cut the deficit to 16 points with 5:36 remaining, but the Aggies responded immediately with a 13-2 spurt to close the deal.
