Texas A&M Aggies vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers Predictions
The Nebraska Cornhuskers enter the game with a solid 23-10 overall record and an impressive 18-1 home record, indicating a strong home-court advantage. The team has been performing well, winning seven of their last ten games. Nebraska’s offense is led by guard Keisei Tominaga, who averages 14.9 points per game, and forward Rienk Mast, who not only contributes 7.6 rebounds per game but also leads the team with an average of 3.0 assists per game. The Cornhuskers’ offensive strategy has been effective, with a 77.6 average points per game, and their three-point shooting will be crucial in this matchup.
On the other side, the Texas A&M Aggies, with a 20-14 overall record and a balanced 6-6 road record, are not to be underestimated. The Aggies are led by guard Wade Taylor IV, who averages 18.9 points and 4.0 assists per game, and forward Andersson Garcia, who dominates the boards with 9.4 rebounds per game. Despite their lower field goal percentage and three-point shooting, the Aggies’ strength lies in their rebounding, ranking 7th nationally with an average of 42.7 rebounds per game, which could give them an edge in second-chance points.
Defensively, both teams have areas to exploit. Nebraska has allowed opponents to shoot 39.6% from the field, which ranks in the top 10 nationally, but they will need to be wary of Texas A&M’s offensive rebounding prowess. Texas A&M, meanwhile, has struggled with their three-point defense, which could be problematic against Nebraska’s perimeter shooters. The game will likely come down to which team can better execute their game plan and make the necessary adjustments. With both teams on winning streaks, it’s set to be a competitive and thrilling encounter.
Texas A&M Aggies vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers Pick
The matchup between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Texas A&M Aggies presents a compelling case for the under on the total line of 146.5. Nebraska’s strong defense, which has allowed opponents to shoot just 39.6% from the field, is likely to challenge the Aggies’ offense, which ranks 398th in field goal percentage at 39.9%. Additionally, Texas A&M’s three-point shooting percentage is one of the lowest in the nation at 28.4%, which could limit their scoring potential against Nebraska’s defense. While the Aggies excel in rebounding, this may not necessarily translate to a high-scoring game, as their offensive efficiency is not reflected in their shooting percentages.
Furthermore, both teams have shown a tendency towards the under in recent trends, with Nebraska’s last 10 games resulting in 6 unders and Texas A&M’s last 10 games also leaning towards the under with 8 unders. Despite the Aggies’ recent streak of overs in their last 5 games, the defensive capabilities of both teams, combined with the high-pressure environment of the NCAA Tournament, are likely to result in a more cautious and defensively focused game. Therefore, the under is the more compelling pick for this matchup, as both teams will be looking to control the pace and limit their opponents’ scoring opportunities.
The Pick: Under 146.5 -105 (BetMGM)
