My 25* College Basketball Game of the Year is the Texas A&M Aggies plus the points over the Missouri Tigers. On Wednesday I was hoping for two things to happen to setup this game the way I wanted. Missouri took care of business in their last home game of the season over top 5 ranked Oklahoma. They did so rather easily leading by double digits most of the way and ended up winning the game by 9. Meanwhile, the Aggies needed a strong 2nd half rally to get pass a look ahead game as they squeaked out a win in Colorado. Now we have Missouri off an emotional win and arguably their biggest win of the season as they knocked off highly ranked Oklahoma and finished the year undefeated at home and they have to travel to an Aggies squad who has really been playing solid ball as of late. The Aggies are a very solid 15-2 SU at home this season and enter this game having won 5 straight games and having covered 5 of their last 6 against the spread. The difference makers for this team are the guys in the paint as they have outrebounded 9 of their last 10 opponents. It first starts with the talented junior center Elonu who is averaging 10.2ppg and 7.7rpg. Additionally in the front court is Bryan Davis who has really matured as a player this season and is averaging 10.3ppg and 6.3rpg. Today is senior day and that will certainly be important for the leading scorer of this team, Josh Carter. Carter really has been the key for them lately as after an up and down year he has really turned it up lately and put together some of his best basketball of his career over the last several weeks. He is averaging 17.8ppg in his last 5 games and shooting 58.3% from 3 point range (21-35). On the other side the Tigers will being playing only their 9th road game of the season; as they have spent most of the year at home. On the road this is a team that has struggled; they lost at Kansas by 25, at Kansas State by 16 and at Nebraska by 5 failing to cover in each contest. Missouri is not a great perimeter team on the offense end and that has really hurt them in big games on the road. By struggling around the perimeter opposing teams have been able to sag into the paint and take care of the big men. In a matchup like this the Aggies have the big men to matchup down low as well as the defense around the perimeter to control Missouri. I expect Texas A&M shows up big here as Missouri comes in prime for a letdown off an emotional big win this past week. The Aggies will have another electric home crowd behind them for their last home game of the season and a game that should put them into the NCAA tournament. I currently have this line at +2. My 25* College Basketball Game of the Year is the Texas A&M Aggies plus the points. As always, Good Luck, Let’s make some money.
