Texas A&M will host Missouri in a key SEC matchup as the Aggies look to bounce back from consecutive losses and the Tigers try to continue their recent surge. Texas A&M suffered an 86-67 defeat to Florida in its last game, struggling with its shooting. Meanwhile, Missouri is coming off a dominant 78-59 win at South Carolina and has its sights set on an NCAA Tournament bid.

Why it matters

This game is crucial for both teams as they jockey for position in the SEC standings and work to improve their NCAA Tournament resumes. A win for Texas A&M would help the Aggies regain their early-season swagger, while a Missouri victory would further bolster the Tigers' tournament hopes.

The details

Texas A&M has lost two straight games, including a blowout loss to Florida in which the Aggies shot just 30.6% from the field. Missouri, on the other hand, is riding high after a 19-point win at South Carolina, its second straight victory. The Tigers have five more Quadrant 1 games remaining, including this matchup with the Aggies, as they look to solidify their NCAA Tournament standing.
