Matthew Murrell hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 31-all with 2:47 remaining but Obaseki answered with a layup 7 seconds later to take the lead for good.
Radford hit a 3-pointer that gave Texas A&M its biggest lead of the game at 61-48 with 4:52 to play. Allen Flanigan scored five consecutive points before Murrell hit a 3-pointer to cap a 10-0 run that made it a one-possession game with 2 minutes remaining but the Aggies hit 17-of-20 free throws from there to seal it.
Jaemyn Brakefield led No. 10 seed Ole Miss (20-11) with 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Flanigan scored 17, Murrell 14 and Jaylen Murray 10 points.
Texas A&M shot just 37% (24 of 65) from the field and 24% (5 of 21) from 3-point range but hit 73% from the free-throw line, where the Aggies outscored Ole Miss 27-12.
The Rebels made 25 of 60 (40%) overall, 9 of 31 (29%) from behind the arc and 12 of 21 (57%) from the foul line. Ole Miss was minus-16 rebounding (48-32), gave up 21 offensive rebounds (while grabbing just four) and was minus-17 (21-7) in second-chance points.
