Another No. 1 seed has fallen on the road to March Madness.

No. 8 Texas A&M pulled off a stunner Friday afternoon in a 67–62 victory over Auburn, the No. 4 team in the nation, to advance to the semifinals of the SEC tournament.

The Buzz Williams-led Aggies’ shocking upset marked the program’s first win against an AP Top 5 team since 1982.

Despite the close margin of victory, Texas A&M outplayed Auburn for much of the contest. The Aggies led 53–33 with 11:16 remaining in the game, the largest deficit that Auburn has faced this season.
