PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas - Danuel House scored 19 points, and No. 25 Texas A&M edged No. 10 Gonzaga 62-61 on Thursday to advance to the championship game of the Battle 4 Atlantis.

The Zags' Silas Melson missed a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer as time expired with House contesting the shot.

Tonny Trocha-Morelos added 14 points for the Aggies (6-0).

The game was tight throughout, with 12 ties and seven lead changes.

Gonzaga (3-1) led for much of the game but missed some key free throws down the stretch. After making six 3-pointers in the first half, the Zags connected on just three in the second.

Kyle Wiltjer led Gonzaga with 18 points. Josh Perkins added 15.

Gonzaga plays the loser of the matchup between UConn and Syracuse in the third-place game Friday.
