(NCAAB) Florida vs. Texas A&M, 03/11/2016 8:00 AM, Score: 66 - 72
Point Spread: -4.00 | -110.00 Texas A&M (Home)
Result: Win
Most times the SEC champ comes into the conference tournament with nothing to prove and a #1 seed locked up. Not the case this year as A&M in their first season in the SEC had 7 conference wins, they had 8 in their 2nd season, 11 last year and 13 this season. The Aggies are now rested after a first round bye and are filled with confidence having won 7 straight. It is also a positive that in their lone game this season versus Florida, A&M shot a season low in conference action only making 36.1% of their shots but still beat the Gators by 3. Florida finished the regular season going 0-4 SU/ATS before winning their season finale against a Missouri teams that was 3-15 in SEC action. The Gators offense has really struggled down the stretch as in their last 8 games they shot 40% or less 5 times, and while they did top 40% at home versus Kentucky the other two time they topped that mark was versus the SEC's worst defense, LSU, and third worst which they faced yesterday. A&M is by no means an elite defense but 41% puts then with Florida at #6.
