If Auburn can pull off an upset of rival Alabama, the Aggies will play the Tide Saturday...
Guard Andre Gordon and Texas A&M would be in position to play for a share of the SEC title on Saturday if Auburn could pull off an upset of Alabama on Wednesday night.Texas A&M did its part to set up a showdown for the Southeastern Conference title. Now the Aggies need the Auburn Tigers to do theirs.
With a victory over Alabama in that situation the Aggies also would own the league tiebreaker and the No. 1 seed of the SEC tournament next week in Nashville, Tenn. A&M also won its most league games since joining the SEC in the summer of 2012. Tuesday’s outcome was in doubt with less than two minutes remaining until A&M forward Andersson Garcia collected a steal and a slam dunk with 1:23 remaining to shove the Aggies to an insurmountable 65-59 lead. Meantime A&M guard Dexter Dennis did not play against the Rebels with a sprained left knee. His status against Alabama on Saturday is to be determined.
The Aggies are no doubt bound for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years and first time under Williams, after barely missing on the NCAA postseason a year ago. With Dennis out, A&M against the Rebels turned to a starting five of Henry Coleman III, Andre Gordon, Julius Marble, Tyrece Radford and Wade Taylor IV for the first time.
