Mizzou holds on against Texas A&M

COLLEGE STATION, Texas. (KMIZ)

Despite a late push from Texas A&M, the Mizzou men's basketball team hung on for the 70-66 win to snap a four-game losing streak.

Last time MU and the Aggies met in Columbia, head coach Buzz Williams' team put up a late comeback to beat the Tigers by three points, but Mizzou avoided a similar fate on Saturday.

Cuonzo Martin's team led Texas A&M by as many as eight points in the first half, but let the Aggies take the lead as time wound down in the second half. Aggies guard Quenton Jackson went on an absolute tear, finishing with a team-high 17 points, along with six rebounds.

Junior Kobe Brown finished with the game-high 21 points along with six rebounds at Reed Arena.

Up next - Mizzou will hit the road again to meet Vanderbilt on Feb. 8 in Nashville.
