DALLAS (AP) -- Tyrece Radford scored 16 of his 21 points in the first half, Henry Coleman III had 13 points and 15 rebounds, and No. 13 Texas A&M beat SMU 79-66 on Tuesday night in a meeting of old Southwest Conference foes.

Wade Taylor IV, the Aggies' leading scorer, had 15 points on a rough shooting night in his hometown as the Aggies (3-0) won twice in their first back-to-back true road games in non-conference in 20 years. Texas A&M was coming off a 73-66 victory at Ohio State.

Chuck Harris scored 21 points and Zhuric Phelps had 13 on just 3-of-14 shooting for the Mustangs (3-1), who were hosting the Aggies at Moody Coliseum for the first time since 2009.

It was the fifth meeting between the schools since the SWC's final season in 1995-96, and Texas A&M beat SMU for the second year in a row.

Radford punctuated his big first half with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to cap an 8-2 run for a 39-32 lead.

The Mustangs had trimmed a 12-point second-half deficit to four when Coleman, who tied his career high rebounds, grabbed a loose ball under the basket, made the shot and was fouled.

Coleman's free throw put the Aggies up 57-50 with 8 1/2 minutes to go, and Texas A&M eventually restored its double-digit lead.

Taylor, who scored 11 points after the break, was 4 of 17 from the field and missed all seven of his 3-point shots.

The Mustangs got off to a great start from 3-point range and finished 10 of 23. But they struggled all game inside the arc, going 13 of 42 (31%).

Up next for SMU is West Virginia in the Fort Myers Tip-Off in Florida on Monday.
