NW State @ Texas A&M

Current Records: NW State 3-9; Texas A&M 8-2

What to Know

The NW State Demons and the Texas A&M Aggies will compete for holiday cheer at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday at Reed Arena. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

NW State simply couldn't be stopped this past Saturday, as they easily beat the Southwestern Adventist Knights at home 104-50.

Meanwhile, the Aggies were able to grind out a solid win over the Oregon State Beavers this past Saturday, winning 83-73. A&M can attribute much of their success to guard Wade Taylor IV, who shot 5-for-6 from downtown and finished with 19 points.

The Demons are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 3-6 ATS when expected to lose.

NW State is now 3-9 while A&M sits at 8-2. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: NW State has allowed their opponents an average of 8.8 steals per game, the second most in college basketball. To make matters even worse for the Demons, the Aggies rank 28th in college basketball when it comes to steals per game, with 9.7 on average. In other words, NW State will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
