I’m not sure how many people would have predicted we’d be here when Missouri took the court in College Station on January 11th. Texas A&M was 70th in KenPom and had beaten just one team inside the top 100, and looking very much like a disappointment after a strong finish to the previous season. Mizzou was 38th in KenPom, 13-2, and looking the part of an NCAA Tournament team after Dennis Gates makeover.
The Aggies put the hurt on Mizzou in that matchup. But now the roles have reversed, not completely, but close. A&M is 34th in KenPom and 11-2 overall in the conference.
