BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Brandon Murray capped a 21-point performance with a pair of clutch free throws in the final minute, and No. 19 LSU outscored Texas A&M 13-2 in the last 3:34 to beat the Aggies 70-64 and snap a three-game skid.

LSU tied it a 64 when Mwani Wilkinson hit a 3 from the left corner on his first shot of the game.
Eric Gaines scored 16 points and Tari Eason added 14 points for LSU. Jackson led Texas A&M with 20 points.
