BATON ROUGE, La. -- Wade Taylor IV scored 17 points to become Texas A&M's all-time scoring leader as the 22nd-ranked Aggies beat LSU 66-52 on Saturday in the SEC regular-season finale for both teams.
Taylor has amassed 1,999 points in his four seasons with the Aggies, surpassing Bernard King, who scored 1,990 from 1999-2003.
The Aggies (22-9, 11-7 SEC) were coming off Tuesday's home upset of No. 1 Auburn.
Texas A&M, the nation's leading offensive rebounding team, went to work in the second half when it converted 10 offensive rebounds into 10 points. The Aggies finished with 14 offensive rebounds and 17 second-chance points.
Aggies senior guard Taylor, who missed three of their first four SEC games healing from a knee injury, is his team's undisputed key to a deep postseason run. Taylor, who has averaged 15.4 points in eight career games vs. LSU, scored 11 (including going 3 of 3 on 3-pointers) of A&M's first 15 points on Saturday in the opening 5:11.
