Betting Preview

The Aggies opened at -7.5 with the line moving to -8.  Most of the recreational books had dropped back down to the 7.5. 71 percent of the spread action was on Yale.

No. 19 Texas A&M and Yale square off in the NCAA Tournament opening round.

The Aggies' record in SEC play is 11-8, and their record is 11-2 in non-conference play. Texas A&M is 3-3 in games decided by 3 points or fewer.

The Bulldogs are 15-1 in Ivy League play. Yale is third in the Ivy League with 16.2 assists per game led by Bez Mbeng averaging 5.5.

Texas A&M scores 74.3 points per game, 4.6 more points than the 69.7 Yale gives up. Yale scores 13.8 more points per game (81.7) than Texas A&M gives up to opponents (67.9).

Wade Taylor IV averages 2.5 made 3-pointers per game for the Aggies, scoring 15.7 points while shooting 33.0% from beyond the arc. Zhuric Phelps is shooting 36.0% and averaging 12.7 points over the past 10 games.

Mbeng is averaging 13.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.9 steals for the Bulldogs.

From The Action Network:

Knowing the A&M game plan, Yale will be prepared. The Elis matched Auburn's offensive rebounds in last year's NCAA Tournament. In 2016, Yale and head coach James Jones beat Baylor, a top-five offensive rebounding team that season.

If Yale can at least slow down the Aggies on the glass, the impetus falls on A&M shot-maker Wade Taylor IV, a senior with 2,000-plus career points, to make something happen. Yale counters with three-time Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year Bez Mbeng, one of the best perimeter stoppers in college basketball.

Damian Lillard Next Team Odds

When the notification came across the phone from Shams Charania that the Milwaukee Bucks had signed Myles Turner to a four-year contract, initial instinct was there must be more because the Bucks can’t fit him under the salary cap as a free agent.

Seattle Storm vs. Golden State Valkyries Prop Bets June 29

The Seattle Storm (10-6) face the Golden State Valkyries (8-7) on Sunday, June 29, 2025 at Chase Center. This game begins at 8:30 p.m. ET on CW Seattle, KPIX+, and KMAX 31, and features a spread of Storm -5 (-220 on the moneyline). 

Jaylen Brown Next Team Odds

The Boston Celtics shipped Kristaps Porziņgis and Jrue Holiday this week, shedding a ton of payroll, but they could offload even more if a trade partner for Jaylen Brown emerges.
