OXFORD, Miss. (AP) Admon Gilder scored a career-high 22 points and added seven rebounds and seven assists Wednesday night as Texas A&M defeated Mississippi 80-76.

Texas A&M (11-8, 3-5) outscored the Rebels 7-3 in the final 90 seconds to snap a three-game road losing streak in the SEC. Tyler Davis added 20 points, shooting 9 of 11 from the field, while Robert Williams had 15 points and a game-high 14 rebounds.

Ole Miss (12-8, 3-5) was led by Sebastian Saiz and Terence Davis with 19 points apiece. Deandre Burnett added 16 points and seven assists for the Rebels, who trailed 47-39 at halftime.

The Aggies shot 29 of 57 (51 percent) from the field and 7 of 18 (39 percent) from 3-point range. Texas A&M hit 9 of 10 free throws in the final nine minutes and outrebounded the Rebels 39-23 to preserve the win.

Ole Miss was 27 of 55 (49 percent) from the field and 11 of 25 (44 percent) from 3-point range, including 5 of 8 from Davis.

BIG PICTURE

Texas A&M: The Aggies won their second consecutive game for the first time since December 10. Williams had five dunks in the first half and Davis had the go-ahead layup with 1:22 left that gave the Aggies a lead they never surrendered. The road win should provide confidence as four of the next six games are on the road.

Ole Miss: The Rebels were unable to get a defensive stop and turned the ball over twice in the final 90 seconds. Aside from another solid performance from Saiz, the Rebels could not match the Aggies inside and struggled from the free throw line, hitting 11 of 17 (64 percent).
