Ole Miss basketball absorbed a heartbreaking loss Wednesday night by giving up a late lead to Texas A&M. How it happened:

As a team, Texas shot 40.6% from the floor, 22.7% from three-point range, and 85.7% from the free-throw line. Tre Johnson led the Longhorns in scoring with 22 points, followed by Arthur Kaluma with 12, and Kadin Shedrick with nine.
