1. A&M avenges loss to Mizzou in short-handed affair
Both A&M and Missouri were without multiple players Saturday, but the Aggies were able to avenge their loss to the Tigers earlier this season, snapping a six-game SEC losing streak with the win.
The Tigers missed the presence of two starters -- guard Mark Smith (ankle) and forward Jeremiah Tilmon (wisdom teeth) -- who combined for 27 points and 10 rebounds against the Aggies in their 66-43 win on Jan.
