Why Bet On Texas A&M:

✅ Texas A&M, meanwhile, is 2-0 against the spread and straight up after beating up on Louisiana Monroe and Abilene Christian.

Murray State Racers
The Murray State Racers are 1-1 to start the college basketball season, with the new members of the Missouri Valley Conference losing their first Division I game of this season. That came against St. Louis, with the Racers beating lower division Lindsey Wilson College in their second game of the year. Now the Racers will need to adjust to a huge leap in level of competition in their opening game of this event.
Murray State did do a good job of avoiding turnovers against St. Louis, turning the ball over just 10 times in 40 minutes. While the Racers will need to be better on both ends of the floor to win this game, protecting the basketball will once again be huge for them.
Texas A&M Aggies
The Texas A&M Aggies are 2-0 to start this season and are ranked 24th in the nation coming into this contest. The Aggies are coming off of wins against lower caliber opponents, but they have been impressive in those wins, with an average margin of victory of 26 points thus far.
Against Murray State, the Aggies should have a big edge on the glass, just as St. Louis did against the Racers. That should help the Aggies generate second chance opportunities, which should help them build a healthy margin again in this neutral site contest.
