COLUMBIA, S.C. — Wade Taylor IV had 25 points and tied his career high with seven 3-pointers as No. 13 Texas A&M held off South Carolina 76-72. The Aggies (17-5, 6-3 Southeastern Conference) looked like they had this one going away after Taylor's sixth 3 early in the second half gave them a 49-36 lead. But the Gamecocks scored the next 11 points to tighten things up. South Carolina was still down just 74-72 after Collin Murray-Boyles' bucket with 1.8 seconds left. But A&M's Henry Coleman III followed with two free throws to end things. Murray-Boyles had 22 points to lead the Gamecocks (10-12, 0-9).
