The Aggies hit eight of their first 10 shots while racing to a 19-8 lead and kept the Tigers on their heels all night. Texas A&M led 36-30 at halftime and extended the margin to 52-37 on J'Mychal Reese's layup with 14:06 left before Missouri rallied.

The Tigers chipped away and took their first lead of the game - 68-67 with 50.8 seconds left - on Laurence Bowers' 3-pointer from the left corner off an inbounds pass. Missouri got a stop and had the ball back with a chance to ice it, but a wild pass from Pressey gave it back to the Aggies to set up Harris' go-ahead 3 from the right wing. Pressey misfired on a 3-pointer at the other end, and Turner blocked Keion Bell's follow at the buzzer.

He finished with four assists and seven turnovers. … The Aggies had their highest scoring total since an 83-71 win at Kentucky on Jan. 12. … Texas A&M has won nine of the last 11 meetings between the former Big 12 rivals.
