Texas A&M vs Alabama SEC Basketball Prediction

A game that could’ve potentially decided the SEC, this matchup is still a big contest for both teams when it comes to potential seeding for the NCAA Tournament. I’ll say that Alabama comes away with a close win, but a Texas A&M victory would not surprise me either, especially with this game being played in College Station. Prediction: Texas A&M 74, Alabama 78
