Kevin Durant scored 30 points and grabbed 16 rebounds to lead No. 15 Texas past No. 7 Texas A&M 98-96 in double overtime Wednesday night.
The Aggies' Acie Law forced both overtimes with 3-pointers. His first over Durant with 1.1 seconds left in regulation tied it at 78-78. He did it again when he hit another with 26 seconds left in the second overtime to make it 88-88.
It looked like he would do it again when he drove to the basket for a tying layup at the end of the second, but his shot was blocked by Damion James with 15 seconds left.
Durant hit three of four free throws in the final seconds to seal the win.
Law, who finished with 33 points for A&M (24-5, 12-3) got to the free throw line with the Aggies down by three with 1.4 seconds left. He made the first to pull them within two but was forced to miss the second to give his team a chance to grab the rebound but the final putback was well off the mark.
D.J. Augustin added 25 points for the Longhorns (22-7, 12-3). James scored 22.
