COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Tonny Trocha-Morelos scored a game-high 14 points and Texas A&M defeated Missouri 60-49 on Saturday.
The Aggies (13-6, 2-5) won their second consecutive home game in league play following an 0-5 start to Southeast Conference action.
Both teams shot poorly from the field, as A&M converted 39.1 percent (25 of 64) of its shots and Missouri made 27.8 percent (15 of 54) of its attempts.
The Aggies led 29-20 at halftime and were aided in the second half by two rare swishes from the right baseline by the senior center Trocha-Morelos, along with his 15-foot jumper from the free-throw line that put the game out of reach at 58-46 with 1:38 remaining.
