The Texas A&M Aggies will take on the fourth-ranked Houston Cougars in the Halal Guys showcase. Texas A&M is coming off a loss to Memphis that dropped them out of the top 25. The Aggies are 2-1 on the road this season. Houston has won their home games by an average of 36 points. Texas A&M is 2-3 in their last five games. Texas A&M is putting up 76.6 points a game and is shooting 43.2% shooting from the field and just 28.3% from three. Texas A&M is giving up 69 points a game while their opponents shoot 42.9% from the field and 35.2% from three.

Houston is putting up 76.4 points a game and is shooting 43.6% from the field and 34.7% from deep. On the defensive end, the Cougars are giving up just 49.7 points and their opponents are shooting 35% shooting from the field and 27.5% shooting from deep. The Aggies have lost three of their last five as their offense has been inconsistent and their defense has not been shutting teams down it did to start this season. Houston is one of the most experienced teams in the country. Houston has not allowed 70 points or more yet this season. Houston in the better offensive team and the vastly better defensive team. The Aggies rely on the three and I don’t think they will be able to shoot well enough to stay in this one.

Play on Houston. This is a 4% play.
