FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Devin Cosper scored 18 points as Arkansas won for the first time over former coach Gary Blair with a 67-61 victory over No. 13 Texas A&M on Thursday night.

The win is the first in six tries against Blair for the Razorbacks (6-9, 1-1 Southeastern Conference), who were coming off a 53-point loss at No. 2 South Carolina.

Arkansas led by as many as 14 points early in the fourth quarter before the Aggies (11-4, 1-1) twice closed the lead to one point with less than a minute remaining.

Jessica Jackson, who finished with 17 points, and Cosper were perfect on free throws in the final minute to help seal the win.
