The Memphis Tigers face the Texas A&M Aggies on Sunday afternoon.

Penny Hardaway's club has gone through a demanding non-conference schedule and has earned victories over Missouri, Michigan, Arkansas and VCU thus far. Additionally, Memphis went down to the wire against Ole Miss and fought hard against Villanova.

The same can be said for the Aggies, a team with wins over Ohio State, Penn State and Iowa State. Also, like Memphis, Texas A&M has narrow losses to FAU and Virginia.

So, which side should you bet? Well, let's make our Memphis vs. Texas A&M pick.

Memphis Tigers

Memphis has shown that it will push the pace and fire at will on the offensive end of the floor. The Tigers are 27th in average possession length and their uptempo style stems from the skill of their talented backcourt.

It all starts with David Jones. The well-traveled senior can stuff the stat sheet and has proven to be a scoring threat from all over the court. He and his backcourt mate, Jahvon Quinerly, can do damage from beyond the arc.

The Aggies are a decent defensive club, but they've had issues contesting shots from the perimeter. Texas A&M is 252nd in 3-point percentage allowed as nearly 38% of the points they've allowed have come from downtown.

However, the Aggies make a point of going over screens to protect the perimeter. So, Memphis can also cash in on a high percentage of looks in the paint. Over 41% of the Tigers' offense has come from close 2s, and they will be able to use their size advantage whenever they want.

Texas A&M Aggies

Texas A&M is ranked eighth in adjusted offensive efficiency. That should be surprising, given the Aggies are 212th in effective field goal percentage.

The Aggies haven't shot well from beyond the arc and are just 150th in 2-point percentage. What sets the Aggies apart on the offensive end of the floor is their ability to clean up misses.

The Aggies are second in the country in offensive rebounding percentage, and much of that is due to the work of Henry Coleman. However, Coleman will be the smaller man in the paint in this matchup.

In addition to that, Memphis is 97th in defensive rebounding rate.

Betting Pick & Prediction

Texas A&M opened as a sizable favorite for this matchup, and while the Aggies have earned their rank on paper, Memphis has a similar resume.

The Tigers have been tested just as much as the Aggies and have the edge on both ends of the floor.

Take the points and back Memphis in this matchup.

Pick: Memphis +7.5 (Play to 6)
