The Aggies lost their last 2 games of the season and Auburn lost their last 9 and 15 of their last 15. The Tigers have not won a game since February 6th.
G Frankie Sullivan (14.4 ppg) leads Auburn in scoring and he struggled in the OT loss to Mississippi State only scoring 12 points on 4/14 shooting. The 2nd leading scorer is his backcourt mate in G Chris Denson (11.7) , who scored 24 points in the last game of the season. Sine the Tigers do not have a lot of inside scoring these 2 will have to play well or their season is over.
One of the reasons that the Aggies are not bigger favorites is that leading scorer Elston Turner is questionable with a wrist injury. He did not play in the season finale and if he does not play Texas A&M will need Fabyon Harris (11.9 ppg) and Ray Turner (9.4 ppg) to step up in the scoring department. No other Aggies’ players is averaging over 7 ppg.
While Auburn does not have a good offense they did score 71 points and 75 points in their last 2 games of the season.
In some betting trends for this first round game in the SEC tournament Texas A&M is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400, and they have an Over record of 7-1 in their last 8 games.
Auburn is 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games overall, 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Over record of 6-2 in their last 8 games.
Jason’s Pick: Hard game to call since the leading scorer for Texas A&M is a question mark, but the Aggies are still a better and deeper team with a better D and they will win and cover tonight and keep their season alive.
