Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at LSU

Here we get a much anticipated rematch between the LSU Tigers and the Texas A&M Aggies after a buzzer beating NCAA Tourney win by LSU last year 58-57. You can bet that this game has been circled on the calendar since that loss, with A&M returning their top 6 scorers from a year ago. LSU is missing 23 points from that game, as Tyrus Thomas, and Darrel Mitchell have moved on, while A&M is missing 0 points from that game! LSU struggled at lowly Tulane where they actually trailed at the half by 6 as a 17 point favorite before winning by just 7. They actually were outplayed and won it at the FT line. They made more free throws than Tulane shot (21 to 12). Texas A&M brings a lot of weapons into this game. They are shooting 54% as a team, and 8 of the top 9 scorers shoot 50%+! They are also lethal from behind the arc hitting 41%, and very sticky on defense as opponents are shooting just 30% against them, and just 24% from three. They also have an amazing 8 players with double digit a ssists on the season, and have 160 to just 99 turnovers. That shows this team is about disipline, and they work as a unit very well. They held LSU to 35% shooting in that game last year, and here we have what we believe to be the better team, getting points, playing with a chip on their shoulder. Last year A&M lost to Pacific, and they have already redeemed that loss by beating them this year. Redemption time!
