I'll keep you guys updated here. Bulldogs are on the court warming up in all maroon with white trim. Tigers are back in the locker room. Not sure what the starting lineup will be, but my guess is Phillips, Van Leer, Walton, Puryear and Woods. That won't be long term but it will be tonight.

My guess is maybe 1500 people here. Student section has about three times as many as the pep band (so 60-20). Plenty of good seats available.

For those that missed this, Alabama A&M lost to Missouri State by 32. They're not good.

Lineups being introduced momentarily. I'm watching Twitter for Chris Turner announcement.

FIRST HALF

Woods wins the tip, but hits it out of bounds. Bulldogs start with the ball. The first possession is a missed three and an offensive rebound. Followed by another miss and another offensive board.

Now a turnover and Mizzou takes possession for the first time against a 2-3 matchup zone. Great passing, but Puryear misses the 14 footer. Nice job by Frankie Huges getting the ball in the middle.

Huges is technically playing the three, but it's really a three-guard lineup with Woods and Puryear down low. A third offensive board. Missouri's gonna have so much trouble on the glass.

Cullen Van Leer hits his first three of the season. Off to a better start than last year. A&M is 0-6.

TV TIMEOUT: Mizzou 7, A&M 2. Hughes and Puryear have two, Van Leer three.

Russell Woods just went 2-2 from the line. Maybe things really are turning around.

Frankie Hughes' first college three is about a foot too long. Still no subs for Kim Anderson.

The Bulldogs have missed their first nine shots from the field. Only points are on two free throws.

First sub is Jordan Geist for Terrence Phillips.

Woods is now 4-4 from the free throw line and showed off a legitimate honest to God post move on the last possession. he was a 39% FT shooter last year. Walton in, Hughes out.

A&M just made its first shot in 13 attempts at the 13:40 mark. 11-4 Mizzou.

Under 12 TO: Mizzou 16, Alabama A&M 4

Van leer is 2-2 from deep. He's out now as Phillips is back in. Jackson and Nikko replace Puryear and Woods as the Tigers go smaller. Nine of the 11 available guys have played. Mitchell Smith and Jakoby Kemp haven't.

Willie Jackson scores. Only Terrence Phillips hasn't scored of the guys who have played. It's 21-4.

Alabama A&M is 1-19 from the floor. ONE. FOR. NINETEEN.

Alabama A&M is pretty bad guys. Geist for three. Timeout Bulldogs. It's 27-6.

After starting at an 0-5 deficit, Mizzou is outrebounding A&M 19-9.

Cullen Van Leer is 3-4 from three. He was 30-111 all of last year. He leads Alabama A&M 9-8.

Willie Jackson stuffing the stat sheet with 7 points and 4 boards. Just got an alley oop from Hughes.

Taking care of some recruiting housekeeping and A&M has gone on a 4-2 run to cut the lead to 44-16. Bulldogs shooting a game high 19%. Timeout Mizzou.

I know it's Alabama A&M, but Russell Woods has 10 points and 3 rebounds and is 6-7 from the line.

HALFTIME: Mizzou 49 Alabama A&M 20 and Terrence Phillips just hit the front iron from 70 feet.
