Tre Johnson scored 20 points and Tramon Mark added 15 as Texas helped its NCAA Tournament hopes with a 94-89 victory in double overtime against No. 14 Texas A&M in the second round of the SEC tournament Thursday in Nashville.

Kadin Shedrick scored 14 points and Jordan Pope added 13 as the Longhorns (19-14) advanced to face Tennessee in the SEC quarterfinals Friday. Arthur Kaluma scored 12 points and Chendall Weaver added 10 for Texas.

Texas won the game on five free throws in the final 37 seconds of the second OT, including two from Pope with 13 seconds left. Texas A&M missed six shots from the floor and a free throw in the final two minutes.

Wade Taylor scored 29 points, while Manny Obaseki added 17 for Texas A&M (22-10). Andersson Garcia scored 13 points with 10 rebounds, while Henry Coleman III scored 10 points with 13 rebounds.

Five players fouled out of the game, including Mark and Weaver for Texas. Obaseki, Garcia and Solomon Washington all fouled out for Texas A&M.

Texas A&M forced overtime on Coleman’s bucket with 31 seconds left in regulation. He was fouled on the play but missed the free throw for a late lead. Mark missed a potential game-winner at the end of regulation for Texas.

Texas extended the game to a second overtime when Mark fed Shedrick for a dunk with 5.4 seconds remaining in the initial OT.

Texas led 33-27 in a defensive-minded first half where neither team shot better than 40 percent from the floor. Texas A&M surged in the second half with six 3-pointers and 14 made free throws on 20 attempts to outscore Texas 46-40 to take the game into OT.

The Longhorns committed just six turnovers in the 50 minutes of game time, while the Aggies committed 13.

Texas shot a combined 54.5 percent in the two overtime periods, while the Longhorns’ defense came through in the clutch by holding Texas A&M to 18.8 percent in both OTs. The Aggies made 27 free throws but shot just 67.5 percent from the line.

Texas A&M lost despite a 53-40 rebounding advantage.
