West No. 3 – Texas A&M Aggies (Overall: 24-7, Conf: 13-5)<\/h2>\n

Team Strengths<\/h3>\n

\"March-Madness---News-Banners_250x130_v2\"<\/a><\/p>Texas A&M\u2019s offense has been consistently led by the senior pair of Jalen Jones and Danuel House. Both star guards are putting up around 15.0 PPG apiece in the regular season. But ultimately, the Aggies, who share the regular-season title with Kentucky, wouldn\u2019t have had such a terrific campaign without their willingness to share the basketball. They rank ninth in the country with 17.4 assists per contest and 104th<\/sup> in scoring (76.2 PPG<\/a>).\u00a0 So long as Texas A&M sticks to this style of play, things are bound to continue flowing smoothly for the team.<\/p>\n

Team Weaknesses<\/h3>\n

Ironically, Jalen Jones could actually shoot down the Aggies on his own. Yes, he has been pouring in the points efficiently, for them but Jones\u2019 got to be smarter with his shot selections from now on.\u00a0 He should start thinking twice when unloading three-pointers, in particular, as he\u2019s gone 0-of-11 from down town in his past five contests and is shooting just 32.1% behind the arc overall this season.<\/p>\n

Also, Texas A&M has got to fix its poor perimeter defense. The Aggies have been holding opponents to just 65.9 PPG, but are allowing 7.5<\/a> three-pointer per game, which is among the highest in the country today.<\/p>\n
