PITTSBURGH (AP) — Rashaun Agee scored 21 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead Texas A&M to an 81-73 victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday night in the ACC/SEC Challenge.

Agee was 7 of 14 from the floor and made 6 of 7 free throws to go with four assists, four steals and two blocks. Ruben Dominguez made four 3-pointers and scored 18 points for Texas A&M (7-2), which has won five straight. Jacari Lane added 14 points.
