Texas A&M Aggies Betting Preview

Overall the Aggies have been quite consistent so far this year. They’ve only experienced consecutive losses once so far. Texas A&M got off to a middling start over their first six games however, losing to UCF and Oregon among wins versus East Texas A&M, Lamar, Ohio State, and Southern otherwise. A lengthy winning streak ensued after that, featuring victories over Creighton, Rutgers, Wake Forest, Texas Tech, Purdue, Houston Christian, Abilene Christian, Texas, and Oklahoma in succession. The Aggies would then lose to Alabama and Kentucky in a pair of tough matchups before getting back into the win column versus LSU over the weekend. The result was a 14-4 overall record through the first 18 games of the year for the Aggies.

Matched up against LSU on Saturday, the Aggies came out of halftime sporting a 30-30 tie on the scoreboard. Texas A&M posted a 38-27 run the rest of the way however, eventually pulling off the win 68-57. Tops in scoring was Zhuric Phelps with 13 points, six boards, and six assists. Wade Taylor added 12 points with four rebounds, four assists, and two steals, while Henry Coleman also finished in double-figures with 10 points and two rebounds in the win.

Ole Miss Rebels Betting Preview

Over on the Ole Miss side, they’ve been a highly consistent team themselves so far this year. The Rebels have yet to lose consecutive games, though they are coming off a rough overtime loss in their latest outing. Ole Miss kicked off the year with a nice 11-1 overall run in their first dozen outings. The lone loss was versus Purdue; otherwise, it was wins over LIU, Grambling, South Alabama, Colorado State, Oral Roberts, BYU, Louisville, Lindenwood, Southern Miss, Southern, and Queens University in that stretch. Following another loss to Memphis on December 28, the Rebels beat Georgia, Arkansas, LSU, and Alabama in succession before falling to Mississippi State over the weekend. The Rebels currently sit at 15-3 overall through their first 18 games thus far.

In the Mississippi State game on Saturday, Ole Miss took a 37-29 deficit into the second half. The Rebels fought back valiantly on a 45-37 run in order to force overtime, but eventually lost in the extra period 84-81. Sean Pedulla was the high man among the starters with 18 points, four rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Jaemyn Brakefield added 20 points, seven rebounds and two assists off the bench, while Matthew Murrell chipped in 15 points.

Ole Miss vs Texas A&M Prediction

I’ll probably stay with Ole Miss. This should be a pretty great matchup though, and one of the highlights of the Wednesday college basketball schedule. The Rebels couldn’t quite topple Mississippi State in their last game, thanks mostly to an ugly 51-29 deficit (19-8 offensive) on the boards. Otherwise, Ole Miss didn’t play too badly, notching 45.5 percent shooting with 14 team assists. The rebounding disparity sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb, however. That said, the Rebels have scored 70 or more points in 14 of their last 15 games and should notch a high enough total to keep that run going here.

As for Texas A&M, they looked pretty good against a decent LSU team in their last outing, shooting 42.6 percent from the field alongside a 38-33 rebounding advantage. The Aggies have been below 70 points in consecutive games though, which is a bit of an anomaly for them this year. In any case, I like Ole Miss to power one out in a very entertaining matchup. Should be a fun game to check out.
