Who's Playing
Louisiana-Monroe @ Texas A&M
What to Know
The Texas A&M Aggies and the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks will face off at 8 p.m. ET November 7th at Reed Arena to kick off their 2022 seasons. The Aggies fell in the NIT finals 73-72 to the Xavier Musketeers after a 27-13 regular season. On the other hand, Louisiana-Monroe struggled last year, ending up 13-18.
A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: A&M was fifth best in steals per game, finishing the 2021-2022 season with ten on average. Less enviably, the Warhawks had difficulties with turnovers as their opponents averaged 7.4 steals per game (the 40th most, or bottom 89%, in college basketball). In other words, they will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
The Aggies are the favorite in this one, with an expected 21-point margin of victory. But these early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
