5 Thoughts: No. 5 Alabama 94, No. 10 Texas A&M 88

Last night had the opportunity to be a statement win. Instead, it’s a missed opportunity.

Even without their best player, Texas A&M was in a one-possession game with less than a minute left against a top-five team. You can’t expect to beat the top-end teams in this conference when you beat yourself. The upset-minded Aggies learned that lesson the hard way with their free throw woes, but they showed a ton of fight in their valiant comeback.
