College Station, Texas ? It took awhile, but No. 7 Texas Tech finally solved the Texas A&M defense Saturday night.

LaToya Davis scored on a layup with four seconds left, ending Tech’s 10:55 field-goal drought and giving the Red Raiders a 59-58 win.

“I just ran through the middle and caught it,” said Davis, who scored 11 points in the first half and was held scoreless in the second before rebounding a missed free throw, then racing down the court and getting it back for the game-winner.

Tech (21-4, 7-4 Big 12 Conference), which got 18 points from Chesley Dabbs, trailed 58-55 with 15 seconds left. But Cisti Greenwalt hit a pair of free throws, then Toccara Williams missed the front end of a one-and-one that Davis rebounded.

A&M (8-15, 1-11) had one more chance, but Lynn Classen air-balled a 10-foot jumper with one second remaining.

Williams led the Aggies with 21 points, eight assists and eight steals.

“I think they make you play ugly,” Tech coach Marsha Sharp said. “You just have to attack the rim and sometimes you’re going to get double-teamed and sometimes you have to throw it up and hope for the best.”

It was the third tough home loss for A&M against a ranked opponent. The Aggies have lost by three points to then-No. 24 Baylor and by two to then-No. 3 Texas.

“I’m tired of people patting me on the back. I’m tired of the little applause for effort. I’m not in this for effort. I’m in this for wins,” A&M coach Gary Blair said. “And we’ll get there.”
