Texas A&M 83, Missouri 61: Danuel House had 20 points, including four 3-pointers, and the Aggies completed the season sweep of the host Tigers.
Jalen Jones scored 16 points and Kourtney Roberson had 13 to go along with five rebounds for Texas A&M (16-6, 7-3 SEC), which shot 58.9 percent from the field. Peyton Allen chipped in 12 points off the bench and Alex Caruso dished out a season-high 11 assists.
Wes Clark paced Missouri (7-16, 1-9 SEC) with 15 points and six assists. Jakeenan Grant had 10 points and Keith Shamburger added nine.
Grant brought the Tigers within 48-40, and Jonathan Williams III answered a Texas A&M 3-pointer with a jumper to keep it a nine-point deficit. Grant tried to spark some momentum with a dunk just inside of 13 minutes to play, but the Tigers missed their next four shots and the Aggies eventually pulled away.
Missouri shaved an eight-point deficit to 28-25 with four-plus minutes remaining in the first half, but House kept the Tigers at bay with his fourth 3-pointer of the period and the Aggies closed with a 7-4 spurt. Texas A&M expanded on its 38-31 lead with four quick points coming out of the break, and Jones made it 48-38 with a bucket before the first media timeout of the second half.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Aggies swept the Tigers for the first time since 2010-11 season, when both were members of the Big 12, and Missouri extended its losing streak to nine games. ... Missouri freshmen Montaque Gill-Caesar and Namon Wright were suspended about 30 minutes before tipoff for a violation of team policies. ... Gill-Caesar is the third-leading scorer on the roster with 9.6 points per game.
