Texas A&M 71, Auburn 61: Danuel House shot 6-for-7 from 3-point range and scored 22 points as the visiting Aggies led from start to finish.

Jalen Jones added 13 points for Texas A&M (14-5, 5-2 SEC), which won its fifth straight following an 0-2 start in conference play. Freshman Alex Robinson led the reserves and matched his season high with 12 points for the Aggies

Antoine Mason scored 16 points to lead Auburn but shot 5-for-14. Cinmeon Bowers added 14 points and eight rebounds and KT Harrell scored all 11 of his points in the second half for the Tigers (10-10, 2-5).

House made all four of his 3-point tries in the first six minutes and had 15 points just before the midway point of the first half, helping the Aggies go up by as much as 11 points early, but Auburn battled back to within one with 5:30 remaining until the half. Alex Caruso’s layup just before the buzzer sent Texas A&M to the locker room with a seven-point edge and the Aggies kept the Tigers from getting any closer.

House scored his first points since the first half on a 3-pointer that stretched the lead back to double digits with 13:14 remaining. A jumper by Tonny Trocha-Morelos gave Texas A&M its biggest lead at 64-50 with 4:46 on the clock.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Harrell came in averaging a team-high 17.4 points with at least 22 in the previous three games, but missed his only two shots in the first half and went scoreless until 17:15 remained. … Auburn reserve G Tahj Shamsid-Deen, who came in fifth on the team in scoring at 5.7 points, re-injured his right shoulder with about two minutes left in the first half and did not return after scoring five points, which led the Tigers' reserves. … Auburn took 35 free throws compared to 17 for the Aggies.
