Missouri men’s basketball will have to wait a little longer to wipe away the taste of its most recent loss. Saturday’s game against Texas A&M, scheduled for a 5 p.m. tipoff at Mizzou Arena, has been postponed as the Aggies continue to deal with COVID-19 issues in their program.

No makeup date has been set. This is the Tigers’ third SEC game postponed this season. Home contests against LSU (Jan. 9) and Vanderbilt (Jan. 12) haven’t been played, but the LSU game has been rescheduled for Saturday, March 6 at Mizzou Arena. Time and TV information for the LSU game are to be announced.

No. 24 Missouri is coming off a 60-53 home loss to Ole Miss, the Tigers’ fourth defeat in the past five games. Entering Wednesday’s game, Mizzou’s 7-7 SEC record (14-7 overall) has them tied for seventh place in the conference.

Besides the LSU game, the Tigers’ only other scheduled game before the SEC Tournament is March 3 at Florida.

Texas A&M has had its last eight games postponed. The Aggies haven’t played since a Jan. 30 victory over Kansas State.

Missouri defeated Texas A&M 68-52 at College Station, Texas, on Jan. 16.
