KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Jalen Jones scored 27 points and made a tiebreaking basket with 1:28 left as No. 21 Texas A&M erased a 13-point, second-half deficit and beat Tennessee 92-88 on Saturday for its sixth straight victory.

Tennessee (8-7, 1-2 SEC) had a 10-point advantage with just over four minutes left when Texas A&M (13-2, 3-0) went on an 11-0 run.

Texas A&M was clinging to a 90-88 lead in the closing seconds when Tennessee's Kevin Punter made a driving layup attempt that went off the rim. Tennessee retained possession and got the ball to Detrick Mostella, whose 3-point shot went around and out with about 10 seconds left.
