Watch: No. 10 Texas A&M hits game-winning three in closing seconds to take down No. 15 Missouri

No. 10 Texas A&M won a 67-64 thriller over No. 15 Missouri on Saturday thanks to some last-second heroics.

With the game tied at 64 with under 10 seconds to play, Texas A&M guard Wade Taylor IV hit this clutch triple from the corner with 1.8 seconds remaining to give the Aggies the lead and eventual win.

Taylor had 15 points (5-of-14 FG) in his third game back from a knee injury. The veteran has scored at least 10 points in all but one of Texas A&M's games this season.

The Aggies shot a solid 45.3% for the game and held Missouri to 5-of-21 from three-point range. For a Missouri team that typically gets significant production from its bench, it only had 26 points. Senior guard Caleb Grill, who averages 13.1 PPG off the bench, had four points (1-of-5 FG).

This also marked the first home loss of the season for Missouri. Texas A&M (18-5, 7-3 SEC) has won three straight games on the heels of an impressive defensive performance. Its free-throw shooting (14-of-23) could see some improvement going forward.

If Taylor can stay healthy and continue to be a reliable option down the stretch like he has proved to be in the past, don't count the Aggies out of the SEC race just yet.
