Neither Texas A&M Aggies nor the Florida State Seminoles have been playing great basketball lately and this makes the 7 vs 10 pairing in the Southwest Region a tricky one to call.
The Seminoles' best scoring, Khris Singleton, hasn't played in a month and will slowed if he plays at all. Predictably, bettors don't know what to make of it either, as it hovers around a PK for two teams that lost three of their final games to limp into the tournament.
This season, the Aggies were 24-8 overall and respectable in the Big 12, while the Seminoles are 21-10 in fighting their way through the ACC.
