00:00 The Texas A&M Aggies faced their toughest test yet this season at the Toyota Center
00:05 on Saturday against the hometown Houston Cougars.
00:08 The fourth-ranked Cougars proved to be every bit of the national contender in the first
00:12 half but had to answer to the heroics of Wade Taylor IV in the second half.
00:19 Despite rallying back from 21 down to tie the game with 1 minute and 31 seconds left,
00:24 A&M came up just short in a 70-66 loss.
00:29 Down 68-66 with 7 seconds left, A&M forward Henry Coleman III missed a pair of potential
00:36 game-tying free throws to help Houston seal the win.
00:40 Taylor IV led the Aggies with a game-high 34 points on 6 of 14 shooting from a 3-point
00:46 range.
00:47 The only Aggie in double figures, he had 13 points in the final 3 minutes nearly carrying
00:53 A&M to a comeback and upset win.
00:57 Coleman posted 6 points and 12 rebounds but the rest of the team outside of Taylor failed
01:02 to get going on offense.
01:04 Houston had a team-high 21 points from Emmanuel Sharp who was one of four starters in double
01:10 figures.
01:11 Baylor transfer LJ Cryer added 17 points while Jamal Sheed had 12 points and 8 assists.
01:18 The Aggies who are now 7-4 on the season will host Houston Christian on Friday.
01:23 From all Aggies, I'm Alexandra Cox.
