How to watch: Texas A&M vs. Missouri basketball game

Texas A&M (11-7, 2-3 SEC) will be back in Reed Arena to face the Missouri Tigers (8-10, 0-5 SEC) on Tuesday at 8:00 PM CST.

The Aggies have looked better than usual this season in two of their last three games. Against LSU, they have done something I haven’t seen all year: the team kept the game in reach while Wade Taylor IV spent most of the time on the bench. The trio of Jace Carter, Andersson Garcia, and Tyrece Radford held down the fort while Taylor hung around head coach Buzz Williams due to foul trouble. After a poor output in game one against LSU, they evened the series in a nail-biting 73-69 win to get their season back on track.

The Missouri Tigers are struggling and are currently on a five-game losing streak while also being winless in SEC play. They come into Reed Arena in a must-win situation, needing something to salvage their season, and a win over a tough Texas A&M team could give them the confidence needed to string together a few wins. Given how streaky the Aggies can be with their scoring, containing Taylor will be a top priority to keep the game close.

The A&M SEC opponents are hosting Kentucky, Florida, and Tennessee at Reed Arena to highlight the home slate. The Aggies’ road foes include AlabamaArkansasAuburnGeorgiaLSU, Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt.

Even though the Missouri is winless in league play Coach Bizz Williams know the Tigers and present a unique challenge on Tuesday.

“they’re so unique in how they play offensively and then they also

do specific things defensively that require your time and I think that’s probably, not putting words in coaches, mouth, we’re great friends, but I think that’s part of why they play the way that they do on both sides of the ball”
