The Tigers and Aggies were close out of the gates, but Mizzou coughed up a 16-4 lead to end the first half to trail by 18 at the break.

Mizzou did not respond well in the second half as the Aggies extended their lead. The loss is the largest margin of the season for Mizzou.

In back-to-back days, the Mizzou men’s and women’s basketball teams have lost by their largest margins of the year.
