    Default Kansas/Texas A&M

    Been looking into the statistics of this game and I like A&M. The reason is that Kansas' opponents score 23.3% of their points from the free throw line (average is 20.3%). Texas A&M scores 24.5% of their points from the line. They average around 70.2% from the line which is nearly 2% higher than the NCAA average. Also Texas A&M plays a very slow type of game, in fact they rank 268th in the nation according to pace (the higher the number, the slower the pace). Also, the Aggies are a TOP 5 team when it comes to opponents steal percentage. They only have the ball taken from them 7.3 times a game!

    I'm not betting this game at all, I planned on maybe betting Kansas because A&M is usually pretty bad on the road. Also, might not be too many fouls called in Lawrence, always have to think about that.

    not sure, A&M plays a pretty slow pace and struggles to score when they dont get to the line. I dont see them getting to the line regularly on the road at Kansas, so I guess the under would be the play. A&M also is 40th in defensive field goal percentage from inside the arc

    I'm thinking about playing a 4 pt teaser with

    UL-Laf +20
    Providence -1.5
    KU -6 ?

    Maybe an NBA game
    CLE PK
    BOS -4.5
    MIL +10

    Think I'm on the right side of these college ones at least? To me they look good but I wonder if UAB blows out UL. Just looking for a little insight since there's such a small slate I'm just seein what I can do.

    I'd think that UAB would rest their guys if they got up a decent amount because they have so little depth

    I like Over 135 here myself even though TP is right about A&M struggling to score at times! A&M has won uptempo games vs Baylor (157 total pts) and Alabama (164 pts) and I think KU will force them into a faster pace than they would normally play at! The Aggies seem pretty soft for their 15-3 record but KU is very young...seems like 10.5 is about right?

    this is rediculous, you are right Powell, these refs call fouls on everything, if you breathe on a player it is a foul, its like a girls high school game
