DraftKings: Bet Nebraska to beat Texas A&M in NCAA Tournament
Teddy Ricketson writes: "Defense wins championships, but a lack of offensive consistency can make it really tough to get there. The Aggies are one of the worst shooting teams in the league. Yes, they have Wade Taylor, who can do it all, but Texas A&M is shooting 28.4% from three and 47% from the field. Unless the Cornhuskers completely fall apart on defense and the Aggies figure out how to play a more well-rounded and successful offense, Nebraska should advance."
Picks and Parlays: Nebraska 74, Texas A&M 68
Jake Allmann writes: "This matchup promises to be a closely contested battle. The Nebraska Cornhuskers have demonstrated the capability to excel in both offense and defense, crucial for tournament success. The Huskers’ higher shooting percentages and defensive statistics suggest they’ll manage to contain Texas A&M’s key players while exploiting the Aggies’ shooting woes. With Nebraska’s key players likely stepping up, I predict a win for the Cornhuskers in a game that emphasizes defense and efficient scoring."
