Aggies Secure SEC Tournament Spot with OT Win

0:00On March 8, Texas A&M Aggies wrapped up their regular season with a thrilling 94-91 victory over LSU that stretched into three overtime periods. This win locks the man as the sixth seed heading into the SEC tournament this week. Coach Bucky McMillan could not hide his relief after the marathon game. He joked that a fourth overtime would have pushed him to walk away right there, especially after a late-fowling mix-up nearly handed the game to LSU. Fans and players alike were on the edge of their seats, as LSU's Max McKinnon sank free throws to force the third overtime and later missed a key shot. That could have tied it again. The intensity left everyone drained, but excited. With this result, the Aggies finished the year at 21 wins and 10 losses overall and 11-7 in conference play. It's a solid mark for McMillan's first season leading the team. Coming over from five successful years at Sanford, where he earned NCAA and in IT bids, McMillan has the Aggies poised for a strong showing in March, madness and beyond.
