Texas A&M is coming into this game as a 6 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has been playing very well in their recent games as they have won their last 6 straight and have been heating up in their games. They will have a lot of confidence here as they are coming off of a win against Auburn in their last game, kicking them out of the tourney with a 5 point win after they were trailing by 20 points for most of the game. They are going up against an Arkansas side that has also been playing very well in their recent games and they just ripped right through LSU in their first game of this tourney. Arkansas has been winning a lot of games recently and against very good teams in their conference but they have also been winning a lot of these games at home where they play much better and this game is on a neutral site. They still smashed LSU on the neutral site in their last game but Texas A&M has been playing much better and this is bound to be a closer game. Either team could win this game as it is a tourney and both teams are playing very well right now. Regardless of who wins this game, it should be a close game either way so the best bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread.

“I think going into today they were averaging over 25 threes per game. Ten, five-plus, zero five-plus, one, five. That was 15 of their 25, and so statistically speaking, we would have no chance if we allowed them to do what they wanted to do inside, so we had to defensively play inside-out.” - Buzz Williams after his team’s win against Auburn in the last round.

 

 

"A&M, tremendous respect for Buzz Williams as a coach. He has a group of guys that, much like us, they got hot at the end of the year. They've done a phenomenal job of late of playing really, really good basketball. When they went through their losing streak they were able to work their way through it, much like we did, and so we know we're playing a team that's playing with great confidence. We're going to play a team that believes they can win. We're playing against a team that is fighting for their NCAA lives tomorrow, and so we're going to get their best effort because they're really, really competitive and a tough-minded team just like their coaching staff." - Eric Musselman on his team facing Texas A&M in the semi-finals.
