AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Jordan Hamilton scored 27 points and No. 10 Texas beat No. 11 Texas A&M 81-60 on Wednesday night, snapping the Aggies’ 13-game winning streak.
Freshman Tristan Thompson added 18 points for the Longhorns (15-3, 3-0 Big 12) before limping off with a leg cramp with 4 minutes left in the first meeting of the rivals this season.
Khris Middleton scored 16 points for Texas A&M (16-2, 3-1), which hasn’t won in Austin since 2002 and never led in this one.
The Aggies had not lost since a 67-65 loss to Boston College on Nov. 25.
Texas shot 58 percent from the field and the worst free throw shooting team in the Big 12 was 19 of 22 from the line.
