Missouri basketball returns home after two losses on the road to play Texas A&M.

The Missouri basketball team is back home after back-to-back losses in the SEC. The games against Mississippi State and Alabama came after Missouri picked up its biggest home victory of the year in beating Florida.

Mizzou knocked down 31 of 31 free-throw attempts in Saturday’s loss to Alabama, which was a school record that nearly set an all-time record. All eyes will be on the Tigers at the free-throw line tonight as well, as people will want to see how many more consecutive they can knock down.
