College basketball has been exciting to watch this season, with the number of upsets over the last few weeks. Texas A&M and LSU have developed a healthy rivalry that’s grown since the Aggies joined the SEC.
Both teams have issues and need this win to get back on track in the conference standings. The Tigers enjoy a 29-21 series lead and a 3-7 record under Buzz Williams. A&M split the pair of games last season, winning the last match 73-69 in Baton Rouge, LA.
It’s music to fans’ ears, as star guard Wade Taylor IV will be suited up after missing three games and will hopefully add some stability to the Aggie offense. LSU is getting close to desperation mode with a 1-3 SEC record, and they need to win this game if they want to get back on track for an NCAA tournament bid.

Texas A&M vs. LSU prediction, pick
Saturday, with Wade Taylor IV back on the court in some capacity, A&M will get back on track and win their third SEC game. I also believe this will be a lower-scoring game with transition buckets held to a minimum. It will not be a blowout; however, the Aggies will take command in the second for a convincing victory.
Prediction: Texas A&M 78 – LSU 68
