No 5 Kansas Jayhawks vs. Texas A&M Aggies Preview

However, even with their big match up facing MIZZOU in their next game they cannot overlook Texas A&M (13-13) even though they have lost 5 of their last 6 games. NCAAB lines have Kansas as a big 9.5-point favorite with a total of 123.5.

In their last games Texas A&M lost to Missouri 71-62 while Kansas won their 4th straight beating Texas Tech 83-50.

This season Texas A&M is 11-9 ATS with an O/U record of 7-13 and Kansas is 14-11-1 ATS with an O/U record of 9-16-1.

Kansas has won 17 of their last 18 games against Texas A&M.

The Aggies are 0-6 facing ranked teams this season and have dropped 10 straight against teams in the top 25.

The Aggies gave the Jayhawks a mild scare earlier this season leading at halftime before losing by 10 points. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

A&M G Elston Turner (14 ppg) had 24 points in the earlier loss to Kansas, but really struggled with his shot in the loss to MIZZOU. He and F Khris Middleton (11.8 ppg 5.1 rpg) must play well in this game for the Aggies to have any chance at the upset.

Texas A&M has a solid defense ranking 29th in the nation in opponents points per game and they will have to play good D tonight since their offense only ranks 307th in the nation in ppg.

It is no secret that the key in stopping the Jayhawks is containing 6’10 F Thomas Robinson (17.7 ppg 11.8 rpg), who ranks 3rd in the Big 12 in scoring and 1st in rebounds. He and G Tyshawn Taylor (16.6 ppg) give Kansas a stellar high/low game and if the Aggies do not play solid all around D they will lose their 4th straight home game.

In some betting trends for this Big 12 match up Kansas is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall, 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games, and they have an Under record of 10-0-1 in their last 11 road games.

Texas A&M is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games, 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall, and they have an Over record of 5-1 in their last 6 home games.

Jason’s Pick: The road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between these 2 teams and I think that trend will continue. Even with Kansas giving 9.5 points on the road I think they will crush the Aggies in their house and cover the spread.
