A+M vs Mizzou Betting!
Missouri is at 22-9 and 11-7 in SEC play so they look to be a safe bet to make the Big Dance, but the same cannot be said about Texas A&M. The Aggies only have 18 wins and they were 4 games under in conference play and unless they win the SEC tourney they will not get invited to the Big Dance.

On the season Texas A&M is 13-12 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 12-13 and Missouri is 13-14 ATS and they have an Over/Under record 15-8.
In their only match up of the season Texas A&M was at home and beat Missouri 70-68.
The loss to Tennessee in their last game of the season snapped the Tigers 3-game winning streak.
Texas A&M did not end the season well losing 4 of their last 5 games including their last 2. Yeah, they did win their opening SEC tourney game, but that was facing an Auburn team that was only 9-23 on the season and had 3 conference wins.
This game is all about offense vs. defense, as Mizzou ranks 15th in the nation in scoring and Texas A&M only ranks 259th in the nation in scoring, but they have a solid D. [ad-6571516]
The one guy the Aggies really have to worry about if leading scorer FW Laurence Bowers (14.8 ppg), who has averaged 22.3 ppg. He and G Jabari Brown (14 ppg) give the Tigers a good inside/outside combo, but they are not the only guys that can get it done. The Aggies’ defense has their work cut out for them facing a Mizzou team that has 6 players that are averaging in double figures.
The Aggies only have one big time scorer in G Elston Turner (17.9 ppg), who scored 22 points in the opening SEC tourney game. He and fellow G Fabyon Harris (11.9 ppg) must play well tonight, as A&M does not feature a lot of inside scoring.
In some betting trends for this SEC tournament game Texas A&M is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and they have an Over record of 8-1 in their last 9 games.
Missouri is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, 9-2 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games, and they have an Over record of 8-1 in their last 9 games facing a team with a winning record.
Jason’s Pick: I think Mizzou will win this game, but with the defense that the Aggies have they will keep it pretty close and cover the spread.
