Ole Miss vs Texas A&M College Basketball Betting Preview
Ole Miss Basketball
The Rebels come into this game as cold as can be, riding a seven-game losing streak in conference play. They've been unable to contain their SEC foes on the defensive end of the floor, ranking just 14th in adjusted defensive efficiency in the conference.
However, it doesn't help matters that they've been unable to keep up on the offensive end of the floor either. They come in at 238th in effective field-goal percentage nationally.
Their struggles on the offensive end stem from not converting shots inside the arc, which is where they attempt to generate over 63% of their offense.
Now, Texas A&M isn't strong at defending the paint, but the Rebels play so slowly on the offensive end of the floor that collapsing inside will be a quick adjustment.
If the Rebels are unable to get it going on the inside, they don't have shooters to keep on the outside, and any cold stretch offensively could prove deadly in this matchup.
Texas A&M Basketball
As for the Aggies, they're running cold as well. They enter this matchup on a four-game skid of their own; however, it's mainly due to them being outgunned offensively.
This matchup is a great opportunity for the Aggies to bounce back, as they've made their living from beyond the arc. Texas A&M ranks 26th in 3-point rate and 34th in 3-point field goal percentage.
Their perimeter barrage is amplified by tempo, the 23rd-fastest in the nation. This combination gives Texas A&M the ability to put up points in bunches and go on extended runs.
Ole Miss sits 302nd in 3-point rate allowed, which means the Aggies will be firing with heavy artillery from the outside.
Although, when they do penetrate, there's a good chance that we'll see them at the free-throw stripe because the Rebels are 315th in free-throw rate allowed.
To put it simply, barring an atypical shooting night, the Aggies should roll on the offensive end of the floor.
Ole Miss vs. Texas A&M Betting Analysis
While both these teams are looking to get back in the win column, it's clear that Texas A&M holds the edge. The Aggies have a clear path to go multiple extended runs in this game and pull away early.
Look for them to drain shots from long range while shutting down a lackluster Ole Miss team on the other end.
Back the Aggies to cover the spread in style.
My Pick: Texas A&M -9.5 (Play to -11.5)
