Texas storms past Texas A&M by 27

D.J. Augustin scored 27 points and No. 7 Texas rolled over No. 22 Texas A&M 77-50 on Monday night in Austin, Texas, for the Longhorns' sixth straight win.

The rout was a complete reversal of A&M's dominant 17-point win in College Station on Jan. 30, which was Texas' last loss. The Longhorns (22-4, 9-2 Big 12) ran away with this one from the start with a 16-4 run to open the game and a front line that matched the Aggies' muscle for 40 minutes.

Augustin was dazzling in the first half, nearly outscoring A&M (20-6, 6-5) by himself with 17 points as Texas built a 39-18 lead.

Xavier 81, Rhode Island 77: Josh Duncan scored 23 points, B.J. Raymond added 14 and No. 10 Xavier (22-4, 10-1 Atlantic-10) overcame a furious second-half run to hold on for a win over host Rhode Island (20-6, 6-5).

Women

Ohio St. 72, Purdue 56: Marscilla Packer scored 16 of her 18 points in the second half to help No. 20 Ohio State (19-6, 10-4 Big Ten) beat visiting Purdue (14-12, 10-5).
