Josh Carter scored 14 points, Bryan Davis grabbed 11 rebounds and Texas A&M defeated SMU 66-56 Wednesday night for the Aggies' fifth straight victory.
A 3-pointer by Carter, a steal and a layup by Carter and two inside baskets by David Loubeau gave A&M a 50-42 lead only two minutes after SMU had pulled to within one at 41-40 with 11:09 left. SMU (3-5) fought its way back into the game, but a 3-pointer by B.J. Holmes gave the Aggies a 62-51 lead with 1:39 left.
Robert Nyakundi led SMU with 18 points. He hit two 3-pointers as the Mustangs took an early 8-2 lead, but the Aggies (9-1) came back and led 37-27 at the half.
The Mustangs have lost four of their last five.
