The Aggies have won and covered the spread in each of their last five meetings with the Crimson Tide. The Aggies beat the Tide by six earlier this month. The Aggies are rolling as they are 10-1 SU & ATS in their last 11 games. While the Tide have looked better during the SEC Tournament, they failed to cover the spread in their last four games coming into the tournament. Aggies star Wade Taylor IV has been playing incredible scoring at least 20 points in four of his last six games, including 28 against the Tide. This game should be tight and the Aggies would cover the spread. Take the points.

Early afternoon games are historically lower-scoring, so this 12 p.m local tipoff helps that trend. Conveniently, the last time these teams played was an 11 a.m. tipoff on March 4. The final score was Aggies, 67-61, for a total of 128. We may not see a lot of 3s fall, as both defenses rank Top 15 nationally in 3-point percentage allowed. Texas A&M is slow-paced and can further disrupt the game flow with its 20.4% steal rate -- bad news for a turnover-prone Alabama team. It's the third game in three days for both squads. Plus, both teams have already locked up their NCAA tournament seeding. They likely won't play to their full potential when it’s more important to stay healthy for the Big Dance.
