5 Thoughts: No. 13 Texas A&M 80, Texas 60

Eight in a row and 1-0 in SEC play.

In the return of the Lone Star Showdown to the hardwood, the 13th-ranked Aggies used an explosive second half to blow out the Longhorns. A&M has scored more than 70 points and held their opponent to under 70 points in five straight games for the first time since the 2015-16 season. That team went 13-5 in SEC play, won a share of the regular season title and made the Sweet 16.
