About Missouri (19-7, 7-6):
Missouri followed its biggest win of the season with a major clunker. The Tigers trailed for the entire game in an 89-56 road loss to Auburn on Tuesday night. The Tigers were outrebounded 48-25, shot 22.7% from behind the arc and just couldn’t seem to get their best players going offensively. Sean East led the way with 14 points but was one of two players on Missouri to commit four turnovers. Kobe Brown attempted just seven shots after shooting 8-for-15 against Tennessee. Deandre Gholston, one game after his second buzzer beater of the year, made one of his 10 attempts from the floor.
While Missouri doesn’t need a win on Saturday by any means, it would help the Tigers recover from such a demoralizing loss. Texas A&M defeated Missouri 82-64 in the first meeting of the season. The Tigers were outrebounded 41-21 as the Aggies dominated from the tip. The Aggies led by 18 at the half and Missouri couldn’t get closer than four points in the second half.
