Aggies Men's Hoops Downs No. 20 Missouri Tigers 82-64: Live Game Log
The Texas A&M Aggies (10-5, 2-0 SEC) are back in action on Wednesday night against the SEC rival Missouri Tigers (13-2, 2-1).
It has been a good start to SEC play for the Aggies, who already have two upset wins over the Florida Gators and LSU Tigers. Now A&M is looking for a third with the No. 20 Tigers coming to town.
The Tigers have their own share of upset wins this season, including back-to-back wins over Illinois and Kentucky.
How this game plays out will come down to if the Tigers can slow down the Aggies on defense, as Mizzou is holding opponents to 75.1 points per game while the Aggies' offense is averaging 74.6 points per game.
On the flip side, the Tigers are scoring an impressive 87.1 points per game, with the Aggies' defense holding opponents to 67.4 points per game.
Aggies guard Wade Taylor IV leads the team scoring 15.4 points per game this season.
If the Mizzou offense can get going, this could be a long game for A&M.
