Prediction:
Neither squad has played a tough opponent thus far, but the Bulldogs in particular benefited from home-court advantage. Last season, the Zags were not quite as dominant on the road and this is a pretty lengthy road trip against a decent opponent. Reed Arena is going to be rocking tonight and I am taking the points with Texas A&M here as it looks to avenge a loss at Gonzaga last season.
