NEW YORK - Elston Turner hit a 12-foot jumper with 6 seconds to play for his only points of the second half and No. 19 Texas A&M beat St. John's 58-57 on Friday in the third-place game of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer.

Nurideen Lindsey of St. John's missed two free throws with 2.3 seconds left and Turner grabbed the final rebound to give the Aggies (3-1) the win at Madison Square Garden.

Lindsey's misses capped a horrible final few minutes at the line for the Red Storm (3-2), who went 5 of 13 on free throws over the closing 6:21.

Ray Turner had 16 points and seven rebounds for the Aggies, who are playing the first month of the season without Big 12 All-Conference pick Khris Middleton. He had surgery on his right knee Nov. 11.
