Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma

Premium Pick

Texas A&M survived perhaps the most stunning fashion of any team ever in the NCAA Tournament. The Aggies trailed the Northern Iowa Panthers in their last game by 12 points with just 44 ticks left on the clock, but got the game into overtime, and eventually won. If they had to come back from that in a day, as opposed to the rest they have had now, mentally, physically, and emotionally, they would be tough to get behind. A&M is playing as well as anyone right now, as they are 10-1 in their last 11 games, and six of those games have been against NCAA Tourney teams. Oklahoma has ridden the super star status of Buddy Hield. Hield has carried the Sooners all season. The Aggies' strong defense will certainly give him a lot of attention. The Aggies are also familiar with the brand of basketball played in the Big-12, their former conference, and they swept four games from the Big-12 this season, including wins vs. Iowa State, Texas, and Baylor - all tourney teams. Oklahoma played its best basketball early, and became an overrated team. The Sooners have failed to cover their last seven, and are just 2-11 ATS in their last 13. This one will go down to the wire, and the points loom large here, so make the play on Texas A&M.
