Arkansas vs. Texas A&M CBB Prediction:
Texas A&M has been great this season. The Aggies are 11-1 straight up at home and are 8-3 straight up in SEC play this year. On top of that, Texas A&M has won 4 straight games outright and has triumphed in 6 of their last 7 contests. The key has been the Aggies’ defense. Texas A&M is 6th in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency according to Kenpom.com. Texas A&M also ranks 19th in conventional defensive efficiency and 26th in scoring defense this season. Arkansas ranks 82nd nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency this season according to Kenpom.com. That fact could spell doom for the Razorbacks against a stout defensive team like Texas A&M. Because of their strong defense and their significant homecourt advantage, I’m laying the points with the Aggies in this one.
