The victory marked the first for the Aggies in Austin since 2002. With the score locked at 29 at the half, <a href=\"https:\/\/12thman.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/rylan-griffen\/15008\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"15008\" target=\"_blank\">Rylan Griffen<\/a> sparked the Aggies out of the locker room, scoring 10 of their first 12 points of the new period. Texas A&amp;M never trailed in the second half and despite the Longhorns cutting the difference to three late in the game, they held on for the victory. Griffen helped lead the way with 17 points, shooting 80-percent (4-5) from 3-point range in the period, while <a href=\"https:\/\/12thman.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/rashaun-agee\/15014\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"15014\" target=\"_blank\">Rashaun Agee<\/a> registered his eighth double-double of the season with 17 points and 11 rebounds.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nAgee has continued to lead the way for Texas A&amp;M, averaging 14.6 points and 10.0 rebounds in conference action.
