From the outset, the Aggies established dominance on both ends of the court. They outrebounded the Rebels with a significant margin, pulling down 48 rebounds compared to 32 by their opponents. This rebounding clinic was highlighted by an impressive haul of 16 offensive boards which contributed to a substantial 21 second-chance points for Texas A&M.


Offensively, Texas A&M showcased a balanced attack despite shooting just 37 percent from the field and a modest 24 percent from beyond the arc. Their relentless aggression paid dividends as they earned numerous trips to the free-throw line where they capitalized by making 27 out of 37 attempts – good for an efficient free throw percentage of approximately 73 percent.


Defensively, Texas A&M's efforts were equally noteworthy. They registered five steals and three blocks while forcing Ole Miss into nine turnovers which translated into thirteen points off turnovers for them. The defensive pressure applied by Texas A&M disrupted Ole Miss' rhythm and contributed significantly to their victory.


The Rebels did put up respectable numbers in certain areas; they shot better from two-point range at around a solid rate of approximately fifty-five percent and managed fast break points totaling twenty-two – showcasing their ability to convert opportunities into quick scores. However, this was not enough as they struggled from three-point land hitting only nine out of thirty-one attempts which is roughly twenty-nine percent accuracy.
