NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Elston Turner scored 22 points even with his broken
left pinkie wrapped up in a splint, and the Texas A&M Aggies beat Auburn 71-62
Wednesday night in their first Southeastern Conference tournament game.
Texas A&M (18-14) came to the tournament having lost four of five. But the
11th-seeded Aggies drew the SEC's last-place team in Auburn, and now they will
play sixth-seeded Missouri on Thursday night in a matchup of the former Big 12
teams.
Alex Caruso added 14 points, and Kourtney Roberson and Fabyon Harris had 11
apiece for Texas A&M.
The Auburn Tigers (9-23) wrap up the season losing their last 10 games and
now have lost 11 straight in Nashville. Coach Tony Barbee has yet to win a
tournament game in his first three trips. Frankie Sullivan scored a team-high 19
points, and Chris Denson added 15 points.
