Sloan leads Texas A&M past Nebraska 64-53
Jan 9, 2010 - 11:20 PM By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports WriterCOLLEGE STATION, Texas(AP) -- Donald Sloan scored 26 points, including several key free throws down the stretch, to give Texas A&M a 64-53 win over Nebraska in the Big 12 opener for both teams Saturday.
Facing the Big 12's stingiest defense, the Aggies improved to 12-0 this season when holding teams to less than 70 points.
Nebraska (12-4) led by one before Texas A&M (12-3) scored nine straight points, six on free throws by Sloan, to take a 51-43 lead with about 5 1/2 minutes remaining.
The Cornhuskers cut the lead to six before a 3-pointer by A&M's Nathan Walkup with less then five minutes remaining made it 54-45, and Nebraska didn't threaten again.
Nebraska was led Christian Standhardinger, a freshman from Germany, who had 13 points in his debut for the Cornhuskers.
