Texas A&M vs Missouri Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup tied in the SEC standings with a 6-3 conference record, but Missouri will have the home-court advantage. The Tigers did just lose a heartbreaker against Tennessee in their last game, but they played well in that game and they have scored 81+ points in four of their last five games. Texas A&M has won two games in a row, but they haven’t been overly impressive in recent road games. Missouri has the better offensive attack and I think they can drag A&M into a shootout, just like they did to Tennessee. Take the over here.
