Texas A&M surges late, tops Mississippi State in 68-64 win at home

· Yahoo Sports

The Texas A&M women’s basketball team is finding its stride at the perfect time, securing its fourth straight victory with a gritty 68–64 win over Mississippi State in the final home game of the season.

A month ago, the NCAA Tournament felt like a distant dream for anyone watching the Aggies navigate a rocky start to SEC play. But something clicked. They began stacking wins—and doing it convincingly. Thursday night’s matchup was a battle between two teams fighting to stay alive in the postseason conversation, and the intensity reflected the stakes.

Ny’Ceara Pryor delivered when it mattered most, posting a double‑double to anchor the Aggies on both ends of the floor. A&M also caught fire from deep, shooting 47.9% from three‑point range, a critical boost in a game where every possession carried weight. Per ESPN analytics, the win bumps the Aggies’ tournament odds to 66%, a remarkable turnaround for a team that looked out of the picture just weeks ago.

Now, A&M heads into a golden opportunity next week: a road showdown with a top‑25 Ole Miss squad. A victory there wouldn’t just strengthen their résumé—it could cement their place in the NCAA Tournament field.

Texas A&M wraps up the regular season on Sunday, March 1, with a road matchup against No. 19 Ole Miss.
