The Latest on the NCAA Tournament (all times Eastern): 1:47 p.m. That 0-for-10 start seems like a long time ago for Texas A&M. The Aggies used a 10-0 run, including 3s by T.J. Starks and D.J. Hogg, to go up 45-37 on No. 10 seed Providence with 13 minutes left in the second half at Charlotte. Texas A&M was shooting 60 percent in the second half after hitting on 33 percent in the first. __ 1:38 p.m.— Carsen Edwards has 13 points, and second-seeded Purdue finished the first half strong to take a 30-21 lead over 15th-seeded Cal State Fullerton.

No surprise: Texas A&M is dominating the boards. The bigger Aggies are up 23-16 on the glass, including eight offensive boards. — Aaron Beard reporting from Charlotte, North Carolina. ___ 1:05 p.m. Remember the tear-away jersey in football? Cal State Fullerton freshman basketball player Josh Pitts has one, too.

Pitts went to the bench with a piece from the side and back of his No. 24 jersey torn away. Moments later he changed into No. 41.
