Key result
Final: Alabama 100, Texas A&M 97
Records: Alabama improved to 14-7; Texas A&M moved to 17-4.
How it played
The scoreboard tells the story: 197 total points with no overtime and a one-possession finish. Alabama’s ability to keep pace offensively — then close the final sequence with poise — was the separator in a game where neither team could afford a scoring drought.
Turning point
In a game this tight, the turning point was the closing stretch itself. Alabama got the last few possessions to tilt its way, protecting the margin just enough to prevent Texas A&M from flipping the result in the final minute.
