What to Know

We've got another exciting SEC matchup on schedule as the Texas A&M Aggies and the LSU Tigers are set to tip at 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Reed Arena. The Aggies are strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 76.9 points per game this season.

Texas A&M is headed into Saturday's matchup hungry for a win as their strong season has now been derailed by two straight losses. They took an 81-69 hit to the loss column at the hands of Kentucky on Tuesday.

Texas A&M's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Pharrel Payne, who made all 5 shots he took racking up 15 points, and Zhuric Phelps, who posted 21 points plus seven rebounds. Phelps' evening made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least 22.4 points.

Texas A&M struggled to work together and finished the game with only four assists. That's the fewest assists they've managed all season.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for LSU, who bounced back after a tough loss on the road on Saturday. They managed a 78-74 victory over Arkansas on Tuesday. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Tigers as it put an end to their three-game losing streak.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead LSU to victory, but perhaps none more so than Cam Carter, who posted 27 points. Daimion Collins was another key player, posting seven points plus ten rebounds and four blocks.

Texas A&M's loss dropped their record down to 13-4. As for LSU, their victory bumped their record up to 12-5.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Texas A&M hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 76.9 points per game. However, it's not like LSU struggles in that department as they've been averaging 81. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

Going forward, Texas A&M is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 11 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a five game streak of covering the spread when expected to win.
