The game stayed close throughout the second half as neither team led by more than six points. Charlotte held the lead for most of the half and the two teams traded the lead four times. The Aggies took a 41 -40 lead with 5:43 remaining when soph- omore forward Alaina Johnson made a layup from a pass by senior guard LaToya Rose. After Johnson’s layup, Charlotte held A&M scoreless for the next minute of play and the Aggies never challenged the lead again. Junior forward Meg Banahan hit a 3-pointer with 1 1 seconds left to make it a three-point game, but Charlotte’s Monica League’s free throw put the game out of reach. The Aggies shot just 63.2 percent from the free-throw line, including only 60 percent in the second half. “This is a bad loss for us,” Gillom said. “This is a loss that we are going to have to learn from.

Benson capped off the drive one play later, when he scored from five-yards out, giving Texas the eventual game-win ning touchdown with more than seven minutes to play. The Aggies had to punt on their next possession and forced the Longhorns to punt on the next drive, giving A&M another shot at tying the game. Farris completed an eight- yard pass to Porter on first down, but two plays later, Rawls’ brought down the deciding inter ception that ended the Aggies’ upset hopes. “I am pleased we are going to a bowl,” Slocum said. “I look around the country and see a lot of big-time programs that aren’t going anywhere.” The No. 3 Longhorns will take on the No. 9 Colorado Buffaloes in the Big 12 Championship game Saturday in Dallas. SPORTS IN BRIEF Leatherman gives Aggies 77-74 win The Texas A&M men’s basket ball team rallied behind senior guard Andy Leatherman’s three- pointer with just over a minute left to give the Aggies a 77-74 win over the Lamar Cardinals Saturday in Beaumont. Leatherman’s three-pointer came following Lamar’s Tyler Hackstadfs three-point shot that gave the Cardinals a 74-73 lead with 1:30 left. A&M improved to 2-0 on the season, while the Cardinals fell to 0-2. Junior guard Bernard King led the Aggies with 28 points and grabbed six rebounds. Leatherman had 10 points, including the game-winner. The Aggies will return to action tonight when they host Texas A&M-Kingsville at Reed Arena.
