Texas A&M forward David Loubeau scores while covered by Kansas forward Markieff Morris during the first half of the Aggie game at the Big 12 Tournament on Friday in Kansas City, Mo. The Aggies lost the game 79-66.
Texas A&M (23-9) led by as many as nine points early in the second half while the regular-season Big 12 champion Jayhawks (31-2) fouled and fumbled and committed turnover after turnover.
But the Aggies, who outplayed Kansas throughout the first half, ran into a sudden field goal drought that lasted more than 8 minutes and Kansas suddenly could hardly miss.
Sherron Collins had six of his 26 points in the big run that made Kansas 16-1 all-time against the Aggies and sent them into the finals against the winner between No. 9 Kansas State and No. 21 Baylor.
