Texas A&M started slowly in its previous game. The 19th-ranked Aggies were convinced not to let it happen again.

On Friday night, they started fast and then held on for a 74-62 victory over Akron that snapped the Zips' four-game winning streak.

Donald Sloan had 17 points, including a 3-pointer in the game-changing 7-0 run for the Aggies (7-1).

Texas A&M led 56-50 with 7:35 to play when David Loubeau scored inside, Sloan hit his 3 and B.J. Holmes scored on a fastbreak layup to make it a 13-point lead in just over a minute.
