The Missouri Tigers are set to visit Reed Arena in College Station, Texas for an SEC clash against the Texas A&M Aggies. The Missouri Tigers come into this matchup with a 10-11 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the South Carolina Gamecocks, 76-54. Leading the way for the Missouri Tigers was sophomore guard Xavier Pinson as he recorded 12 points and 3 rebounds. Joining Pinson in the backcourt was junior guard Dru Smith who had a productive outing for the Tigers with 9 points and 3 assists.

The Missouri Tigers struggled shooting the ball against the South Carolina Gamecocks as they connected on 19 of their 58 field goal attempts (32.8%), and they were slightly worse from behind the three-point line (21.1%). The Missouri Tigers lost the turnover battle against the South Carolina Gamecocks (17-11), and they were edged out by the Gamecocks in the rebounding department (36-34).

The Texas A&M Aggies come into this matchup with a 10-10 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Georgia Bulldogs, 63-48. Leading the way for the Texas A&M Aggies was senior guard Wendell Mitchell as he recorded 13 points and 3 steals. Joining Mitchell in the backcourt was freshman guard Andre Gordon who had a productive outing for the Aggies as he pitched in 10 points and 3 rebounds.

The Texas A&M Aggies struggled shooting the ball against the Georgia Bulldogs as they connected on 19 of their 59 field goal attempts (32.2%), and they were slightly worse from behind the three-point line (20%). The Texas A&M Aggies won the turnover battle against the Georgia Bulldogs (20-17), but they were edged out by the Bulldogs in the rebounding department (44-34).

The Texas A&M Aggies are adjusting to 1st-year coach Buzz Williams which has led to a 4-4 record in SEC play, but they have a chance to get above the .500 mark with a home game against the 2-6 Missouri Tigers. The Aggies have been excellent on the defensive side of the court all season as they are holding their opponents to an average of 65.1 PPG, and scoring has not been a strength for the Tigers as they rank 308th in college basketball at scoring (66 PPG). The Aggies have had their fair shares of trouble scoring this season, but Missouri hasn’t been able to stop their conference opponents as they are allowing 73.3 PPG in 8 games. Missouri has struggled on the road this season with a 1-6 record, and I don’t think they will turn it around here. Final Score Prediction, Texas A&M Aggies win and cover ATS 66-60.
