In this article, we will formulate a Texas A&M vs Auburn Prediction for this college basketball game on Tuesday, March 4th, at the Reed Arena. Let’s take a look at a Texas A&M Aggies vs Auburn Tigers pick.
What a Slide for Texas A&M
Just a few weeks ago, Texas A&M looked like one of the best teams in college basketball, but that has all fallen apart, and they have lost four games in a row. In the last game against Florida, the defense couldn’t do anything all night, giving up 89 points, which led to the defeat. They gave up 45 points in the first half, and in the second half, it got even worse. They allowed Florida to shoot 42.4 percent from deep, and they need the defense to better from deep here. Zhuric Phelps was the top offensive player, putting up 16 points and five rebounds.
Texas A&M has a 20-9 overall record and 14-13-2 against the spread. For most of the season, Texas A&M’s defense has been good, so it was a bit shocking how bad it looked against Florida. In each of the last three games, the defense has given up at least 77 points. The defense overall is still ranked 56th in the league. Wade Taylor IV is averaging 15.1 points, and he helps pace the Aggies’ offense.
Auburn is the Real Deal
Auburn keeps getting thrown tests, and they pass with flying colors. At this point, it would be shocking if they weren’t the number one overall seed in the tournament. In the last game, they went on the road to face a very good Kentucky Wildcats team, and they put up 94 en route to the 16-point victory. The Tigers continued their hot shooting, hitting 51.8 percent of their shots and 44.4 percent from behind the three-point line. Miles Kelly was the star who stepped up, putting up 30 points, two rebounds, and one assist.
Auburn has a 27-2 record overall and is 18-11 against the spread. Away from home straight up, they have gone 8-1. Auburn’s defense is solid, but their offense is the strength, averaging 85.4 points per game. Johni Broome is averaging 18.4 points while shooting 50.5 percent and grabbing 10.8 rebounds per game. He gets the attention, but six players average at least 10 points per game.

Texas A&M vs Auburn Prediction
At some point, Texas A&M will probably get their season turned around, but it’s not going to happen against a team as talented as Auburn. Auburn is averaging 85.4 points per game, and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Aggies’ defense has been a major problem the last few games, and it’s not going to magically get any better in this game. Whether it’s Broome, Miles Kelly, Denver Jones, or someone else, Auburn just has too many talented scorers, and they are going to run up the score here. Auburn has been just as good on the road, and they will cruise. Auburn is 5-0 against the spread in their last five road games. They will make that 6-0 here. Back Auburn against the spread.
