BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – A Rashaun Agee spinning layup in the lane was blocked at the buzzer as the Texas A&M men's basketball team came up on the short end of an 86-85 outcome against the Missouri Tigers Wednesday inside Reed Arena.

The lead changed hands eight times in the last five minutes with the last swap coming on a dunk by the Tigers' Shawn Phillips Jr. to put the Missouri (17-7, 7-4 SEC) up 86-85 with 17 seconds remaining.

Zach Clemence powered Texas A&M's effort, scoring 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range. Rylan Griffen added 17 points, five rebounds and three assists. Agee tacked on 13 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks.
Texas A&M (17-7, 7-4 SEC) had another strong night from beyond the arc, rattling in 15-of-33 (45.5%) from 3-point range with Griffen's 4-of-9 (44.4%) leading the way.

The Aggies had nine different players knock shots down from long range in the first half, hitting 11-of-17 (64.7%) beyond the arc en route to a 46-41 halftime lead. The 3-point field goal tally was one shy of the school record for a half set against South Carolina 18 days ago.

Griffen led the way for the Maroon & White in the opening act, draining 3-of-4 (75.0%) for 11 points. Texas A&M's distance shooting offset an 18-9 rebounding deficit. Neither team led by more than six points in the competitive first half.

Texas A&M built its largest lead, 57-50, when Clemence drained a 3-pointer at the 16:18 mark. Missouri responded with a 24-9 surge to go ahead 74-66 with eight minutes remaining. The Aggies bounced back with a 13-4 run with 3-pointers by Jacari Lane, Clemence and Griffen before a Marcus Hill layup put Ol' Sarge's charges up 79-78 with 4:57 showing on the clock. The teams traded buckets leading to the final attempt by Agee at the buzzer.
