Next up for Cuonzo Martin’s consistently resilient Mizzou squad? A trip to Texas A&M (Saturday, 3:00 p.m. CT, ESPN2).
Matt told you earlier this week about the Aggies’ spectacular funk — Billy Kennedy’s squad began SEC play 0-5 and has fallen from fourth in KenPom to a current 31st. They did beat Ole MIss on Tuesday, but by only two points at home.
This is a dangerous situation in that A&M is extremely talented and increasingly desperate. That can be a pretty tough combination for an opponent to deal with.
Still, you’d rather play A&M now than about two months ago; hopefully the Aggies don’t choose Saturday to pull off a big rebound.
