- Ja'Kobi Gillespie, G - Tennessee Volunteers

Texas A&M vs. Tennessee Prediction and Pick
Texas A&M is a fantastic shooting team, but the Aggies struggle when it comes to the interior, which could be bad news for them in this game.
66% of Tennessee's shots come from two-point range. Now, the Volunteers get to take on a Texas A&M team that ranks 198th in opponent two-point field goal percentage, allowing teams to shoot 52% from down low.
Tennessee is also likely to win the rebounding battle. The Vols are fourth in the country in rebounding rate, grabbing 58.1% of boards. If that leads to extra scoring chances, this game could be over early. I'll back Tennessee to win and cover.
