Nebraska vs. Texas A&M Analysis

As well as the Cornhuskers have played recently, Texas A&M is peaking at the right time.

Despite a blown 20-point lead in the SEC Semi-Finals, the Aggies are finally starting to hit some 3s.

The Aggies were among the nation’s worst 3-point shooting teams but broke through in the conference tournament.

Wade Taylor IV is among the sport’s best guards who can carry the Aggies on a Sweet 16 run.

The most significant discrepancy in the game is the battle on the boards. Nebraska ranks outside the top 200 in offensive and defensive rebounding rate, while the Aggies obliterate the boards, specifically on offense.

The Aggies are the nation’s best offensive rebounding team and have enough physicality to outmatch the Huskers.

I can’t believe we’re catching three with the Aggies. It’s my favorite early NCAA Tournament bet.
