The Texas A&M vs. Michigan betting line was coming in at Wolverines -3. SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE
This line is on the money according to the College Basketball Betting Power Ratings.
Michigan won thanks to a buzzer beater versus Houston.
Freshman Jordan Poole hit with a long three-pointer down by two just as the buzzer was about to sound.
”I saw everybody celebrating,” Michigan’s Jordan Poole said later, ”and I always thought if I hit a shot like that, I didn’t want to get tackled. So I tried to avoid everybody.”
”I’m just trying to appreciate the moment of what just happened,” Michigan head coach John Beilein said. ”When he makes that shot, I’m making sure the shot got off. I’m managing my team. I can’t even look at the celebration.”
”We did not play well, and credit Houston for that,” he said. ”Sometimes you feel, well, geez, why did we win? But I’ve been on the other end of those many, many times. We got a fortunate break.”
But the Wolverines can ill-afford to rely on a buzzer beater against red hot Texas A&M that had a much easier victory over the reigning champion Tar Heels.
The Aggies owned that entire game and walked away with an 86-65 win.
The Aggies are moving on to the round of 16 for the second time in three seasons.
”We had a certain togetherness today,” said the 6-foot-10 Tyler Davis, who had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Aggies. ”We didn’t have the fastest start, but we were together the whole time.”
Texas A&M is a very good number 7 seed that once peaked at number 5 in the AP Top 25 Rankings before being decimated by injuries and suspensions.
Against SEC opponents, Michigan has only covered the spread in three out of twelve games dating all the way back to 1992. They won only five of those outright plus an additonal loss.
