=14.0ptThe SEC will have a matchup of two top 15 teams featured during the mid-afternoon slate of games this Saturday. #15 Missouri (17-5) will play hosts to #10 Texas A&M (17-5). Missouri has gone 2-2 over their last 4 games with wins over #16 Mississippi and #14 Mississippi St but losses to #4 Tennessee and unranked Texas on the road. These teams are tied for 3rd in the SEC currently but that will obviously change after this game. The Aggies have gone 4-3 over their last 7 games with 2 of their 3 losses coming against top 10 teams (Alabama and Kentucky). They have won their last 2 games against Oklahoma and South Carolina but this Missouri team will be a serious step up in competition compared to those teams. However, one thing to note about those losses to Alabama and Kentucky, they came without Missouri’s leading scorer Wade Taylor IV playing. He returned to action the following game and seems to be rounding back into form as he is averaging 17.3ppg over his last 3 games. Something to consider in this game, which should be tight down the stretch, is that the Aggies are nearly 300th in the country in free throw percentage. If they need to knock down late FTs, they could be in trouble.
