Filed under: Articles, Betting Previews — Tags: , — admin @ 11:09 pm

Texas A&M will try and pull off a rare feat as they try and sweep Texas on Monday night.  The Aggies won 80-63 at home against the Longhorns on January 30th.  Texas A&M comes into Monday’s game having won six of their last seven but they were upset at home by Oklahoma State on Saturday. “It’s disappointing,” coach Mark Turgeon said. “We’ve been a hustle team. We’ve been guarding well and rebounding well. I kept waiting for the light to come on.”

SBG Global reports that early NCAA Basketball betting has the public taking Texas at Home.

Winning at Texas has not been easy for A&M.  They have lost their last five games in Austin.  This has been a home dominated series as neither team has won on the other’s home court in over three years.  Texas is 13-1 at home this season.  A&M is 3-3 in true road games.  Texas has won five in a row overall including a very impressive 82-77 win at Baylor on Saturday. Damion James had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Texas.  The Longhorns led by 14 late before allowing Baylor to get back into the game. “Everybody gets tired,” said D.J. Augustin, “We were out there trying to fight through it and doing what we had to do to win. I have great teammates that stepped up and were doing their job, and that is why we got a win.”  The Longhorns have been winning even though Augustin has struggled.  He has only averaged 9 points per game in the last two games but still leads the team at 18.8 points per game.  The Longhorns are averaging 73.8 points per game during their five game winning streak.  That number may be difficult to reach on Monday considering A&M is holding teams to 61.2 points per game.
