Texas A&M vs. Yale Analysis

The Yale Bulldogs will be a trendy upset pick. They dominated the Ivy League this season, en route to a 13-1 regular season record and two victories in Ivy Madness to punch the conference’s ticket to the Big Dance. 

Yale pulls a matchup against a tough opponent from the SEC in the Texas A&M Aggies, yet the Bulldogs will have a puncher’s chance. 

A&M’s offense is exclusively dependent on dominating the glass. The Aggies shot the 317th-best 3-point percentage nationally this season, adding just the 293rd-ranked 2-point percentage. The Aggies get their shots blocked at the highest rate in college basketball, 364th in the country. 

Yale does a solid job both defending the rim and protecting the glass. The Bulldogs rank 22nd nationally in defensive rebounding rate. 

Against power conference foes, Yale had mixed results. The Bulldogs allowed Purdue to nab just five offensive boards, but surrendered 17 to Minnesota. 

That stat could decide this matchup unless Yale hotshot John Poulakidas catches fire again.
