Texas A&M vs Northwestern State 12/21/21 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Northwestern State Demons and the Texas A&M Aggies meet in college basketball action from Reed Arena on Tuesday night.

The Northwestern State Demons come into this game trying to bounce back from a 104-50 win over subdivision Southwest Adventist last time out. Kendal Coleman leads the Demons in scoring and rebounding with 15.6 PPG and 8.3 RPG as the only double-digit scorer for Northwestern State so far this season. Cedric Garrett has 7.9 PPG and Brian White has a team-high 3.7 APG as well this season. As a team, Northwestern State is averaging 70.2 PPG on 43% shooting from the field, 28.8% from three and 59.9% from the foul line while allowing 79.7 PPG on 49.1% shooting from the field and 37.2% from three this season.

The Texas A&M Aggies will look to build on an 83-73 win over Oregon State last time out. Quenton Jackson leads the Aggies in scoring with 12.5 PPG as the lone double-digit scorer for Texas A&M so far this season. Henry Coleman III has 9.8 PPG with 5.4 RPG while Marcus Williams has 9.6 PPG with a team-high 2.9 APG and Tyrece Radford has 9.3 PPG with a team-high 5.8 RPG to lead the Aggies on the glass. Wade Taylor IV also has 2.9 APG as well this season. As a team, Texas A&M is averaging 72.4 PPG on 44.9% shooting from the field, 39% from three and 64.4% from the foul line while allowing 62.2 PPG on 39.8% shooting from the field and 28.6% from three this season.

Northwestern State is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games and 0-8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games against a team with a winning home record while the over is 7-3 in their last 10 road games. Texas A&M is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 6-0 in their last 6 games following an ATS win.

I get the case that can be made for Northwestern State as this is a lot of points to give up with a Texas A&M team that isn’t necessarily known for being high-scoring. However, The Demons have already lost by 40+ to LSU and Houston and have already been beaten twice handily by ULM of all teams as well this season. There’s no backing Northwestern State here like it or not. Give me the Aggies laying the points in this one.
