PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) Texas A&M thought it was the better team entering its Battle 4 Atlantis championship game matchup with Syracuse.
The 25th-ranked Aggies left feeling like they let one slip away.
Michael Gbinije had 20 points, Malachi Richardson added 16 and Syracuse held off Texas A&M 74-67 on Friday.
''We're disappointed. We came here to get a win. We came here to win the championship and I really believe we should have won,'' Aggies coach Billy Kennedy said.
Gbinije was selected the tournament's most valuable player. Trevor Cooney added 15 points and also made the all-tournament team.
