Each of the past five times the Missouri Tigers and the Texas A&M Aggies have played, Wade Taylor IV has been a thorn in the side of the Tigers.
He posted 14 points, four assists and three rebounds in the teams' first matchup in 2022-23, then 21 points, six assists and four rebounds the second time.
He added 19 points and six rebounds in the pair's first game last season and 18 points, five rebounds and four steals in the second.
In the lone matchup between the Tigers and Aggies this year, it seemed like Missouri had finally figured him out.
He was shooting under 33 percent and was just 2-of-8 from deep without a rebound or an assist.
The Tigers finally had him.
Then the ball went to him in a tie game with the clock ticking down and Taylor heaved a 3-pointer from the right wing to end Missouri's home winning streak at 15 games as the No. 10 Aggies handed the No. 15 Tigers a 67-64 loss at Mizzou Arena on Saturday.
"I talked to one of the players on my team, Jaelyn Lee, before, after we came out of the huddle," Taylor said. "We was like, 'Man, next one is going in.' Because I missed the two previous ones."
Texas A&M claimed its fifth consecutive win in the series as Missouri coach Dennis Gates has yet to beat the Aggies since taking over in Columbia.
"The preseason conference player of the year made a tough shot," Gates said. "... He was able to make the play."
But after a poor first half where the Tigers looked like they were being manhandled in each facet, it seemed like that streak might finally come to an end.
After the Aggies took a 38-29 lead into halftime, they extended to a 40-29 advantage with an easy layup as part of a 38-point day in the paint for Texas A&M.
But Mark Mitchell responded with a layup, then blocked a shot and grabbed the rebound himself, leading to two free throws for Tony Perkins.
Perkins then turned a steal into a transition dunk to cut the lead to 40-35 as the Mizzou Arena crowd was re-energized after a lackluster first 20 minutes.
Mitchell hit another layup to cut the lead to 44-41 with 15:56 left, but A&M quickly extended back to an eight-point lead after a Taylor 3.
