Texas A&M at BYU

The Mountain West was a much tougher conference this season than in years past, and that should have prepared BYU much better for the tournament than past entries. That along with games against Utah State, Wake Forest, and Arizona State will help them here. The Cougars get it done on both ends of the floor as they topped 80 points 13 times, but allowed just two opponents to do the same. Their two leading scorers are also the two top assist-makers on the team, so they are a highly disciplined, unselfish team. Texas A&M has always been a top team at home, but on the road, disappointing as they beat the bottom of the conference on the road, but lost every game to the good teams. BYU has the experience and the ability to win on the road, which A&M just hasn't shown, so I am going with BYU in this one.
