Final: No. 17 Texas A&M defeats No. 11 Missouri 82-63. Aggies Carter and Williams 23 and 20 points respectively. Cunningham had 19 points but fouled out with three minutes to go. Frericks had 12 points and Porter had 11. Tigers shot 37 percent from the field.
That was a poor offensive effort by the Tigers. Defensive, too, although I expected it to be a high-scoring game... I just thought that Missouri would keep up. The Aggies just out-played the Tigers and controlled the game from the start.
So what does this mean for the SEC Tournament? Missouri will enter as a sixth seed because LSU won over Alabama in OT today. That means Missouri gets the single bye and will play on Thursday. It's not as good as the double bye, but it's not as bad as playing in the first round. The Tigers really just need to get that first win — they've never won a game in the SEC Tournament.
