My Michigan vs Texas A&M NCAAB Betting Preview
The Michigan Wolverines escaped the UC San Diego Tritons in the Round of 64, and they’ll take on the Texas A&M Aggies coming off a comfortable win against Yale.
The Aggies fit the mold to do severe damage against the Wolverines, who I'm still not buying.
Let’s face it: Michigan was fortunate to hang on late on Thursday.
If the Tritons had executed more soundly in the final minutes, we'd likely be discussing a different matchup.
The Aggies are tenacious on the boards, as they're the nation's top offensive rebounding team. If you want to rebound against the Aggies, you’ll leave the paint with a few bruises.
They also force many turnovers on defense, which is a massive problem for Michigan's offense. The Wolverines rank sub-300th nationally in offensive turnover rate.
My only concern about the Aggies is their inability to score consistently. They tend to go through a couple of dry spells in each game, which may put them in a hole they can’t dig out of.
The Aggies are a terrible 3-point shooting team, but they often compensate for that with their terrific defense and hustle mentality. If they ever learned to score consistently, they’d arguably be a top-three team nationally.
Michigan must keep the Aggies off the glass and limit their offensive turnovers. I don’t envision that happening, and quite frankly, the fact that they’re only 2.5-point underdogs is a slap in the face to the Aggies.
I understand the Tritons were an excellent team this year, but you’re saying they are equal to the Aggies on a neutral court. I’m not buying that at all, and this is an excellent sell-high spot for Michigan.
I mean, how much luckier can the Wolverines get? They’ve won 13 games this year by four points or less, and it seems like every late-game situation goes in their favor.
The Michigan offense thrives inside of the arc, but that's the strength of the Aggies' defense.
I'll happily grab the Aggies as short favorites. The Michigan voodoo has to end.
Pick: Texas A&M -2.5
