The resilient Aggies overcame a 13-point deficit in the last four minutes of regulation against Houston, but their 16 missed free throws loomed large.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Texas A&M forward Andersson Garcia gave the Aggies a storybook ending of sorts late Sunday night, but that ending to regulation against Houston was punctuated by an epilogue called overtime. Garcia’s off-balance 3-pointer from the top of the key as the buzzer sounded tied the game for the ninth-seeded Aggies against top-seeded UH, and the Cougars prevailed in overtime 100-95 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at FedExForum.
One more make earlier in regulation might have pushed the Aggies into Dallas against Duke in the Sweet 16. Instead, the Cougars marched on to their fifth consecutive Sweet 16, while the Aggies haven’t played in one since 2018 under coach Billy Kennedy. “In any game like this — and I won’t watch it for a while — but you make a free throw, I wish we would have gotten a long unclaimed rebound,” said Williams, checking off his regrets list from the cliff-hanging Tournament loss.
