FINAL GM STATS (PDF)


COLLEGE STATION -- No. 11 Texas A&M showed no effects of an eight-day holiday layoff, as the Aggies posted a season-best offensive showing and routed Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 85-48 Sunday afternoon before 3,804 at Reed Arena.

The game marked the final tuneup for A&M (12-1) before heading into a daunting SEC schedule that kicks off Thursday at No. 20 Arkansas.

After shaking off a very brief slow start, Texas A&M took its first lead 4 minutes into the game and never looked back. The Aggies scored 18 of the final 20 points of the quarter and cruised into the period break up 21-7.
A&M had the Islanders doubled up at halftime, 42-21, and held a 32-point lead after three frames.

A&M-Corpus Christi (8-4) saw its four-game win streak snapped in the loss.

Texas A&M's next opponent, Arkansas, will enter the showdown at 12-1 and riding a 7-game win streak following a 96-46 win over UT Martin on Sunday.

The game will tip at 8 p.m. Thursday from Bud Walton Arena and will air nationally on SEC Network Plus. Fans can also hear the game locally on The Zone (1150 AM/93.7 FM) and along the Texas A&M Sports Network.
