Missouri Tigers Set to Tangle with Texas A&M Aggies at Mizzou Arena

As the Missouri Tigers prepare to host the Texas A&M Aggies, fans are eager to see if the home-court advantage at Mizzou Arena will play a pivotal role in their performance. The Tigers have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, demonstrating both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their last game against the formidable Fighting Illini, despite a strong second-half performance where they scored 49 points, the Tigers fell short with 73 points to Illinois' 97. The team's field goal percentage stood at 39 percent and they struggled from beyond the arc, hitting only 22 percent of their three-point attempts. However, they showed tenacity on defense with eight steals and matched Illinois in points from the paint.

The previous encounter against Seton Hall Pirates was a closer affair with Missouri putting up an impressive fight but ultimately losing by six points. They managed an improved field goal percentage of 45 percent and excelled at free throws with an accuracy of 86 percent. Their three-point shooting was also noteworthy as they hit half of their attempts from downtown.

An away game against Kansas Jayhawks saw Missouri struggle offensively, scoring just 64 points while allowing Kansas to rack up 73. The team's field goal percentage dipped slightly to 41 percent and turnovers were an issue as well.

Looking ahead to facing Texas A&M Aggies, it's clear that Missouri needs consistency in shooting efficiency and ball handling while capitalizing on fast break opportunities provided by their aggressive defense.
