Texas A&M vs Georgia College Basketball Betting Preview
Texas A&M Basketball
Texas A&M is on a roll lately, winning nine of its past 10 games, including tough road wins over Texas and Auburn.
Bucky Ball has brought some excitement to College Station. Under first-year head coach Bucky McMillan, the Aggies bring a full-court press for all 40 minutes, so they run at the 25th-fastest tempo nationally while forcing a 20% turnover rate.
The Aggies will look to shoot a lot of 3s on the offensive end, attempting perimeter jumpers on 47% of their field goals. They have a trio of knockdown shooters in Ruben Dominguez (44%), Pop Isaacs (38%) and Rylan Griffen (44%).
They also shoot 57% from inside the arc, along with 37% from deep.
It’s more of a sum of the parts-type situation with Texas A&M’s offense than having a true go-to guy. It has six players averaging between 10 and 13 points per game, with athletic big man Rashaun Agee pouring in a team-best 13.7.
Aside from the turnovers, the Aggies' defense can be a bit shaky. They allow opponents to shoot 51% on 2s (149th) and 32% from deep (123rd). Plus, they surrender offensive rebounds at a 30% clip.
There’s a lot to like about the fast-paced style of Bucky Ball, but it has its vulnerabilities.
Georgia Basketball
Georgia is coming off a brutal loss to Tennessee by one point, but it’ll look to bounce back on its home floor.
Mike White teams tend to play a deliberate tempo, but he’s decided to up the ante this season and play at the sixth-fastest tempo nationally.
The Bulldogs are a highly-efficient scoring team inside the arc, shooting 59% on 2s (19th nationally). Lob threat and rim-running specialist Somto Cyril helps boost the numbers by shooting 76% from the field. He’s the ideal big man to run the floor in White’s up-tempo offense.
The guards are no slouches at finishing inside, either. Marcus “Smurf” Millender is one of the speedier guards in the SEC, Jeremiah Wilkinson is a stone-cold bucket and Blue Cain shoots over 65% inside the arc.
Georgia isn’t a great shooting team, connecting on 32% of 3s. The Bulldogs often let it fly, attempting 3-pointers on 44% of their shots. So, if they could shoot even 34% for deep, it would be a huge boost to an already terrific offense.
Where the Bulldogs should do well against the Aggies is beating the pressure. They turn the ball over just 14% of the time and have a trio of ball-handlers to break it down: Millender, Wilkinson and Jordan Ross.
In the loss to Tennessee, Georgia allowed an unreal 26 offensive rebounds. Some of that is a result of Tennessee’s strength, but the Bulldogs give up offensive boards at a 35% clip.
That’s a major worry for the Bulldogs moving forward, but this matchup won’t be as concerning in that department.
Texas A&M vs. Georgia Betting Analysis
I’m rolling with Georgia.
Both teams will look to push the tempo, but I like how Georgia matches up with the Aggies.
If you can’t handle the ball and aren’t used to playing a full-court game, then good luck against Bucky Ball.
Thankfully for Georgia, it thrives on full-court action.
This feels like a disaster matchup for Texas A&M.
My Pick: Georgia -4 or Better
