The Texas A&M Aggies suffered through their worst offensive performance of the season, losing 86-67 to the Florida Gators in a SEC matchup. The Aggies shot just 1-for-27 from the field to start the game and scored a season-low 19 points in the first half. Leading scorer Rashaun Agee had a tough night, scoring just 8 points on 2-of-13 shooting.

Why it matters

The loss is a setback for an Aggies team that had been strong in conference play, starting 7-1 in SEC action. It marks the second time this season A&M has lost two games in a row, raising questions about their ability to bounce back against upcoming tough opponents like Missouri and Vanderbilt.

The details

Texas A&M struggled mightily on the offensive end, making just one 3-pointer in the first half and falling behind by 11 points at the break. The Aggies were led by guards Marcus Hill and Pop Isaacs, who each scored 17 points, but no other A&M player scored more than 7. Florida had five players reach double figures, led by Thomas Haugh's 22 points.

  • The loss was Texas A&M's second consecutive defeat.
  • The Aggies' previous two-game losing streak came earlier in the season, when they fell to Oklahoma State and UCF.
