COLUMBIA, MO. • The Missouri Tigers will attempt to sweep an SEC series for the first time in five years when Texas A&M plods into Mizzou Arena on Saturday. Not since February of 2014 have the Tigers beaten the same SEC opponent twice in the same regular season. That year, Frank Haith’s team swept Arkansas both at home and on the road. That was so long ago, Cuonzo Martin was still coaching at Tennessee.
“It’s a league game. Everyone is trying to fight to win games,” Martin said. “It helps (we played them already) because you have a feel, but … we have to understand we won a game but you can’t take that for granted.
