On Friday night, Texas A&M needed a monster second half to erase a 13-point deficit and advance in the SEC Tournament with a 67-61 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks. In Saturday’s semifinal matchup with Vanderbilt, no such effort was needed.
The Aggies dominated from the outset, jumping out to a big lead from the jump, leading by 24 points at the half. Vanderbilt narrowed that lead in the second half, but the outcome of the game was never seriously in doubt as the Ags cruised to a 87-75 win and advance to the SEC Tournament championship game on Sunday against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
