ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll probably take a shot on Texas A&M here. The Aggies played pretty well versus Ole Miss in their last game, posting 40 rebounds, 15 assists and just five turnovers to the Rebels’ 18. That said, the shooting wasn’t all that hot at 37.9 percent overall and 5-of-22 (22.7 percent) from 3-point range. As for Alabama they’re chugging right along on a four-game win streak and coming off a nice win over rival Auburn. The Tide have scored 78 or more points in all four of those outings, so the Aggies are going to have to get moving quickly in order to keep pace. I think they’ll do it.
