5 Thoughts: No. 22 Texas A&M 72, Texas Tech 67

Being battle-tested matters in March, but the Aggies just proved it matters in December too.

Texas Tech was playing just their second opponent ranked inside the top 135 in the NET, while A&M was playing their seventh of the season. Down by three with eight minutes left, the Aggies used an 11-0 run to take the lead and never give it back. Clutch free-throw shooting kept the Red Raiders out of striking distance, and the oldest team in the country never flinched.
