Texas A&M faced off against No. 18 South Carolina in a crucial SEC showdown at Reed Arena, looking to halt a four-game losing streak and keep their postseason aspirations alive. Despite a strong effort, the Aggies fell short, losing to South Carolina 70-68, marking their fifth consecutive loss. Tyrece Radford led Texas A&M with 8 points during the first half, with the score at Gamecocks- 28, Aggies - 25, and was the first Aggie to reach double digits in scoring by the second half, with the score then at No. 18 South Carolina- 43, Aggies - 33. However, the team struggled with shooting, hitting only 30 percent from the field by halftime, with Taylor and Radford combining for a 3 of 14 shooting performance. A South Carolina layup with just three seconds remaining sealed the victory for the visitors. This loss drops Texas A&M's record to 15-13, significantly dimming their tournament hopes.

South Carolina just finished off a 70-68road win over Texas A&M, meaning... Arkansas would have been out of the bottom 4 of the SEC and in position for a first-round bye in the conference tournament with a win last night against Vandy. Huge missed opportunity.
Texas A&M loses to South Carolina to fall to 15-13 and their tourney hopes are all but gone I was as big of an advocate of Buzz Williams' hire as anyone But we're trending toward one NCAA Tourney appearance and zero tourney wins now in Year 5 Not what Aggie fans signed up for
