Why it matters

This series carries significant weight for both teams as they jockey for position in the SEC standings early in the conference schedule. A series win would provide a much-needed boost for the Aggies, who have faced a tough opening stretch, or the Tigers, who have yet to find consistency this season. The outcome could also have major implications for the long-term futures of the respective head coaches.

The Aggies' pitching staff has been inconsistent, but the offense and defense have shown improvement. Missouri boasts a productive lineup and a pitching staff holding opponents to a .208 batting average, though the Tigers have struggled to put together complete performances.
