Our Yale vs Texas A&M Aggies Prediction
What makes Yale an interesting look in this particular game is how well they can shoot the basketball. On average, the Bulldogs shoot 49.1% from the field, which is 10th in the country and they shoot about 38.5% from the three-point line, which is 11th in the country. Because of this, Yale is averaging about 82 points per game this season and is a top-25 scoring offense.
As for the Aggies, they are a great rebounding team but this could be due to the fact that they are known to be a terrible shooting team. Texas A&M shoots about 41.6% from the field and just 31.1% from the three-point line.
In the NCAA tournament, shooting efficiently tends to be how the lower teams stay in games and pull upsets, therefore because Yale has consistently been one of the best shooting teams in the country, our Yale Bulldogs vs Texas A&M Aggies prediction is Yale +7.5.Jackpot Pools
