Wildcats lose at No. 13 Texas A&M, Host SFA on Tuesday
12/28/2024 5:10:00 PM | Men's Basketball
The ACU men's basketball team dropped a matchup against one of the best teams in the country, 92-54 at No. 13 Texas A&M on Saturday afternoon.
It was the Wildcats' second game against a Top 25 team in the past three weeks (ACU played No. 25 Baylor in Waco on Dec. 9).
Texas A&M scored the game's first nine points before a lay-up by Rich Smith, and a jumper from Quion Williams put ACU on the board.
Hunter Jack Madden lofted the ball to Dontrez Williams who finished the alley-oop to pull the Wildcats to a 16-12 deficit.
But the Aggies made a frantic charge with 12 unanswered points in 1:11 of game time – part of a 14-0 tear to pull away.
KEY POINTS
UP NEXT
ACU returns to Moody Coliseum for a New Years' Eve match against old conference rival Stephen F. Austin. It will serve as the Wildcats' nonconference finale before WAC play begins on Saturday, Jan. 4 at Utah Valley.
Six of the last nine games – and each of the past four -- between the Wildcats and Lumberjacks have been decided by five or fewer points.
Tip-off on Tuesday is at 3 p.m. Fans can purchase tickets here.
