The Battle of Texas: Missouri’s Road to Redemption?
Missouri (16-7, 6-4 SEC) steps into the fray on Wednesday night, facing off against an undefeated Texas A&M squad in College Station. The Aggies, who are currently riding a high with a 7-3 conference record and a perfect 8-0 mark at Reed Arena this season, present a formidable challenge for the Tigers.
Missouri’s Defensive Fortress
The Mizzou defense has been one of their standout features. In SEC play alone, they rank third in scoring defense (75.9 PPG) and first in field goal percentage allowed (41.1%). This is a team that knows how to limit the opposition’s offensive firepower.
Mark Mitchell’s All-Around Game
Senior Mark Mitchell continues to be the fulcrum of the Tigers’ offense, leading in points, rebounds, and assists per game. His all-around play has been pivotal, especially in crucial games like their 84-79 victory over Mississippi State.
A&M’s Struggles
Texas A&M, on the other hand, is reeling from back-to-back losses to Alabama and Florida. They are averaging a healthy 90.9 PPG but allowing an average of 78.1 per game to their opponents.
Series History
In this series dating back to 1969, Texas A&M holds a commanding lead with a 27-20 edge over Mizzou. The Aggies have won the last five meetings, including a thrilling victory in 2025 when Wade Taylor IV scored the game-winning 3-pointer.
The Road to Success
Missouri aims to score at least 73 points for their best chances of winning. Their recent defensive efforts against South Carolina saw them hold their top scorer, Meechie Johnson, to just 13 points on 2-of-13 shooting.
