Five Thoughts: Texas A&M 65, Mercer 50

1. The Jalen Jones Show: Matched up against a smaller Mercer front line, Jalen Jones was able to establish an offensive presence and score with his back to the basket. He was the go-to man late in the second half when the Aggies used a 17-0 run to turn a 10-point deficit into a seven-point halftime lead. He finished with 20 points, but he also led the team with eight rebounds, made 6-of-7 free throws and registered a couple of blocks with no turnovers.
