Missouri vs Texas A&M Prediction

I’m on Missouri here. I get the allure of points with Texas A&M who have been really good this season and have more than held their own in a lot of spots on the road this season. However, I think I have to come to grips with the fact that Missouri is actually good this season. Like, really good. And I was really impressed with the fight they gave to Tennessee even in a losing effort. The Tigers have been a lot more impressive in conference play compared to last year (although it wouldn’t take much to improve on an 0-18 conference season) and I think that they can defend home court with a win and cover here. Give me Missouri.
