Texas A&M scored 48 points in the paint and added 24 from the free-throw line. The Longhorns countered that inside attack by making 6 of 14 3-pointers in the first half, but they made just one 3-pointer on 12 attempts in the second half.

The Aggies and Longhorns played their first basketball game as league rivals in 13 years Saturday at Reed Arena.

The Texas A&M basketball team's experience showed up big in the second half, stuffing the Texas Longhorns' offense. They held the SEC Preseason Freshman of the Year Tre Johnson to 2-13 from the field and beat the Longhorns 80-60 for their eighth straight win.
