A free throw by the Islanders' Nolan Bertain knotted the contest at 58 with 46 seconds to play. Andre Gordon gave Texas A&M the 60-58 lead with 30.1 seconds left.

Chandler added 11 and Flagg had 10 for the Aggies (4-5), which snapped a four-game losing streak.

The game was tied at 19 after Flagg's jumper with 4:31 to play in the half but the rest of the period belonged to the Islanders. A&M-CC ended the half with a 12-5 run and owned a 31-24 lead at the break.

A&M-CC ran its lead to as many as 11 points, at 37-26, on a pair of free throws by Hairston two minutes into the second half before the Aggies started whittling away. A 17-6 run over the ensuing six minutes pulled Texas A&M to within 44-43 after a four-point play by Chandler.
