Lamar Peters scored 21 points to lead four Mississippi State players in double figures as the host Bulldogs defeated Texas A&M 92-81 in the Southeastern Conference regular-season finale for both teams Saturday afternoon.

Seniors Quinndary Weatherspoon and Aric Holman scored 20 and 16 points respectively in their final scheduled home game, and Tyson Carter added 18. Holman and Peters, a junior, both went over 1,000 points for their careers.

Weatherspoon, the SEC's leading scorer in conference play, bounced back from a season-low seven points in a 71-54 loss at No. 5 Tennessee on Tuesday.

It is the first time Mississippi State (22-9, 10-8) has won 10 SEC games in a season since the 2007-08 season when the Bulldogs were 12-4. They will have a first-round bye in the conference tournament and play in the second round Thursday at Nashville, Tenn., against an opponent to be determined.

Savion Flagg scored 23 points, while Jay Jay Chandler had 15, Wendell Mitchell scored 14 and Christian Mekowulu added 11 points and 14 rebounds. Mark French scored 10 to lead the Aggies (13-17, 6-12), who entered with five victories in their last eight games.

Texas A&M will play in the first round of the SEC Tournament on Wednesday night against an opponent to be determined.
