Texas A&M vs Nebraska Prediction

Two old Big 12 rivals meet in Memphis as Nebraska seeks its first ever NCAA Tournament victory.

The Huskers put together their best campaign in Fred Hoiberg's five seasons in Lincoln at 23-10, which included a perfect 10-0 home record in Big 10 action.

The Aggies have not won a tournament game since Buzz Williams took over in 2019, but A&M owns some huge wins this season over Tennessee, Kentucky, and Iowa State.

Nebraska sits 16 spots higher than Texas A&M in the KenPom rankings, while limiting opponents to 45.2% on 2-point attempts.

The Aggies are one of the worst teams shooting 2-pointers in the nation at 47%, which is 301st and converts on only 28.4% of its 3-point tries, which is 353rd.

Although A&M has some better wins on their schedule, their putrid offense numbers are hard to ignore here against Nebraska.

Pick: Nebraska -1 (-110)
