My Prediction
Texas A&M Aggies by 7Looking at this highly anticipated NCAA men's basketball match-up between the Vanderbilt Commodores and the seventh-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, it's easy to see why all eyes will be on this game.
For the Commodores, the trio of Devin McGlockton, Jason Edwards, and Jaylen Carey are potent threats on attack. McGlockton, with his season average of 10.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game has been quite a force to reckon with. Edwards, on the other hand, has been lighting up the scoreboard with an impressive 17.3 points per game - a stat line that can give any defense nightmares.
Don't sleep on the Aggies, though. Wade Taylor and Zhuric Phelps are nothing short of impressive, with Taylor averaging 15.0 points and Phelps 14.4 points this season. And let's not forget the significant contribution of Andersson Garcia, holding his own with an average of 6.4 points and 6.3 rebounds from last month's stats.
In their recent history, these two teams have had close games with the Aggies squeaking by a few times. However, the Aggies' superior regular season record (20-7) compared to the Commodores' (18-9) paints a telling picture. Add to this the Aggies' number 7 spot in the AP ranking and recent triumphant victories against Arkansas Razorbacks and Georgia Bulldogs and it's clear the Aggies have been maintaining a fairly consistent winning rhythm.
So when we roll all of this together, it's looking like Texas is shaping up to close this match on top. The Aggies are a bit more consistent, a little bit more fearsome on the court, and let’s face it, a tad more favored too. Rapidly becoming the nightmare fuel for Vanderbilt's game day.
