How to Watch Mizzou Basketball at Texas A&M

Time is becoming a factor for the Tigers, who are still looking for their first conference win of the 2023-24 season.

Strange, but true, when Missouri basketball visits Texas A&M on Tuesday evening, it'll be the start of the Aggies' final homestand of the 2023-24 season. 

Yes, we're beginning to hit that part of the schedule, as the SEC Tournament in Nashville will be played in mid-March, but the game tips off a rare three-game conference homestand for the Aggies, who subsequently will have just four standalone home games at Reed Arena. 

The last time Texas A&M had three-straight SEC home games was 2016, and the Aggies won them all against Ole Miss, Kentucky and Mississippi State. Regardless, it does stress how quickly the season is going, as we'll hit the midway point of the league schedule next week when the calendar turns to February. 

Who: Missouri (8-10, 0-5 SEC) at Texas A&M (11-7, 2-3 SEC) 

When: Tuesday, 8 p.m. CT

Where: Reed Arena, College Station, Texas

TV: SEC Network 

Last time out: The Tigers are coming off a 79-67 loss to Florida on Saturday despite Tamar Bates scoring a career-best 36 points. The Aggies have won two of their last three games, coming off a 73-69 win at LSU.

The series: The Aggies swept the series with the Tigers last season. Texas A&M holds a 24-20 advantage in the all-time series. The two teams have played every year since the formation of the Big 12 in 1996-97 with Aggies hold a 24-17 advantage in those games. In SEC play, A&M leads 14-7, including a 7-3 mark at Reed Arena.

About the Aggies: Texas A&M has a NET ranking of No. 39. Wade Taylor IV leads the Aggies with 19.5 points and 3.9 assists per game. In SEC games only, Taylor leads the SEC in steals (13) and 3-pointers (18) and ranks No. 2 with 24.4 points/game.

Tyrece Radford (13.2) and Henry Coleman III (11.3) also score in double figures. Coleman adds a team-best 7.6 rebounds. Jace Carter moved into the starting lineup against LSU and responded with 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. It was his 7th start of the season but his first since 12/30.

Another player to keep an eye on is SEC Sixth-Man of the Year candidate Andersson Garcia, who has posted double-doubles in his past two games. He's the SEC's leading rebounder at 8.9 per game despite usually coming off the bench.
