It was the Robert Williams show Wednesday night as the Texas A&M freshman forward scored 15 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to lead the Aggies over Ole Miss 80-76 at The Pavilion in Oxford, Miss.

The Aggies' free-throw shooting down the stretch let Texas A&M seal the victory after the Rebels whittled away a 10-point deficit to tie the game at 73 with 1:38 left on guard Cullen Neal's 3-pointer.

Williams scored 13 first-half points and pulled down eight rebounds and the Aggies (11-8, 3-5 SEC) took control at the 8:18 mark after 11 lead changes.

Texas A&M was comfortably in control until the Rebels (12-8, 3-5) made their run midway through the second half.

Tyler Davis put the Aggies back up by two at 75-73 with 1:18 left. The Rebels weren't able to execute and turned the ball over and guard Admon Gilder, a 74-percent free-throw shooter, put the Aggies up 77-73 with two free throws.

Deandre Burnett, a 90-percent shooter from the free-throw line, made only one of two and on the next possession, Davis went back to the line to seal the game for the Aggies.

Ole Miss was lethargic and was outplayed up until the frantic final minutes.

With the score 26-25, Williams sparked a 10-2 run with a couple dunks and a pair of free throws to give the Aggies a 36-27 lead. The teams traded baskets that final five minutes of the half and A&M took a 47-39 lead into halftime.

The Rebels sizzled from the field in the first half, shooting 62.1 percent.

Gilder quietly scored 15 first-half points on 5 of 7 from the field, including 3 for 5 from beyond the arc. He finished with a game-high 22 points.

Sebastian Saiz was coming off his third straight double-double for Ole Miss. Saiz, the only player in the SEC to average a double-double (15.6 points, 11.3 rebounds), scored 11 first-half points to lead the Rebels.

Saiz finished with 19 points and seven rebounds.
