COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Zhuric Phelps had 15 points, Henry Coleman III added 14 and No. 13 Texas A&M held on for a 75-68 win over Oklahoma on Tuesday night.

Texas A&M (16-5, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) led by four with about 2 1/2 minutes left when a three-point play by Wade Taylor IV extended the lead to 68-61.

Brycen Goodine scored all five Sooners points in a 5-2 spurt that cut it to 70-66 with less than a minute to go. But then Coleman made four free throws to secure the victory.

Goodine had 24 points for Oklahoma, (15-5, 2-5), which had won two in a row after dropping its first four conference games. Jalon Moore scored 22.

The Aggies won despite going 4 of 24 on 3-pointers while the Sooners made 10 of 22.

Takeaways
