Texas A&M vs LSU Game Preview


Why Texas A&M Will Win

The Aggies need to force a whole slew of mistakes to win, and LSU is happy to make them.

This isn’t a high-powered A&M offensive machine even though it’s good from three and among the best in the SEC overall from the field, but it’s at its best when it’s forcing turnovers.

The Aggies are aggressive, they come up with a ton of steals, and they generate a whole lot of easy points from the defense. LSU does all of that, too, but it turns the ball over 15 times a game and it’s been making a whole ton of mistakes over the three-game losing streak.

The Tiger threes haven’t been there on a consistent basis, they’re not making their free throws, and they’re not moving the ball well enough. However …

Why LSU Will Win

Again, LSU cranks up the defensive pressure, too.

The Tigers are No. 1 in the nation in field goal percentage defense, they’re the best in the country at coming up with steals per game, and they should be able to halt this tough recent run by keeping Texas A&M from every getting comfortable when there aren’t points in transition.

This isn’t a huge Aggie rebounding team and it’s having turnover problems of its own – there were way too many mistakes in the loss to Arkansas.

What’s Going To Happen

LSU stops the skid now.

It gets enough of a balance overall to overcome a few A&M mini-bursts, and it will get the job done on defense in the second half as all of the problems of the last few games take a break.

This might not be scintillating offensively, but the two will come up with an entertaining defensive fight.

Week 13 SEC Basketball Power Rankings: Auburn and Kentucky face off at the top

No. 1 and No. 2 face off this weekend in a battle for first in the SEC standings.

We may be witnessing the game of the season this Saturday.

No. 2 Auburn and No. 12 Kentucky face off in a high-stakes game that will have major SEC Tournament implications later on in the season.

The Wildcats (15-3, 5-1 SEC) just knocked off 15-3 Texas A&M on the road to solidify themselves in second place in the SEC standings. Should they defeat Auburn this weekend, both teams would be 6-1 in a dead sprint for the SEC regular season title. According to KenPom, neither team is projected to lose another conference game after this contest.

LSU (15-3, 3-3 SEC) is still in the race, but losing to Arkansas and Alabama in back-to-back games is not ideal. The middle of the pack in the Southeastern Conference is currently a bloodbath.

Here are the SEC Power Rankings for week 13.
