KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - David Loubeau scored Texas A&M's first eight points and got the Aggies off to a quick start en route to an 86-71 victory over Missouri Thursday night in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.
The Tigers (23-10) were led by Marcus Denmon with 22 points followed by Bowers with 13 and English with 12. Pressey also recorded 6 steals for the Tigers.
Loubeau and B.J. Holmes combined for 31 points in a first half that ended with A&M leading 46-33 over a team it squeaked past 91-89 in overtime on Jan. 15. They each finished with 20.
In Friday night's semifinals, the third-seeded Aggies (24-7) will hook up with ancient enemy and second-seeded Texas in the 220th game between the two, the most-played rivalry in Texas A&M history.
