PICK: I’m going to lean Texas A&M but staying away. Neither one of these teams has looked great over their last two outings. The Aggies allowed Colorado to shoot 57.6 percent from the field and 50 percent (16-of-32) from 3-point range in their last outing. Texas A&M also lost the rebounding battle 35-28 and had 13 assists to the Buffaloes’ 22 in the defeat. Still, the Aggies should be able to handle a struggling Loyola team and get some of that momentum back.
