Texas A&M basketball had opportunities to climb back into its road contest at No. 20 Arkansas, but the Hogs forced 16 turnovers and drew 22 personal fouls to close out a 99-84 decision at Bud Walton Arena on Wednesday night.
Entering the midweek contest against the Razorbacks, Joe Lunardi placed the Aggies at the top of the Last Four In, with potential to move up depending on the result from Fayetteville. While it did provide Texas A&M the opportunity to notch a road Quad 1A victory, the Maroon and White displayed fight and grit in the effort.

The Aggies shot 53% from the field and 32% from 3-point range as a team in the loss, with guard Zach Clemence leading the way with a career-high 29 points. Graduate forward Rashaun Agee notched 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds against the Razorbacks.
In his first year at the helm in Bryan-College Station, head coach Bucky McMillan has led a team projected at 13th in the SEC preseason rankings to the March Madness discussion. There are still three regular-season contests remaining before the postseason begins, but the Aggies are in a good position to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament if they close out the campaign on a strong note.
