Alabama vs Texas A&M Game Preview
Why Texas A&M Will Win
Texas A&M fell off the map for too long with eight straight losses, but it was able to right the ship with three wins in the last four games.
Nah, beating Florida, Vanderbilt, Georgia, and Ole Miss isn’t all that big a deal, but it was still a good run to kick up NCAA Tournament hopes again.
The motivation is strong – the team could use a quality win like this just to be able to breathe a little easier.

Texas A&M can’t do that, and it’s not going to blow out Bama in rebounding margin.
