Nebraska Cornhuskers to Face Texas A&M Aggies in Memphis Showdown

As the Nebraska Cornhuskers prepare to face the Texas A&M Aggies at FedExForum, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an enthralling encounter.

Last season's analytics reveal that Nebraska had a mixed bag of shooting percentages but excelled at free throws and true shooting, both hitting perfect rates. Their three-point and field goal percentages were less impressive, indicating room for improvement from beyond the arc and in overall scoring efficiency.


The team demonstrated solid defensive capabilities with an average of 14 personal fouls per game, which suggests disciplined gameplay. Moreover, they averaged 68 points per game with contributions across the board: 13 assists, 32 rebounds, over two blocks, and more than five steals per contest. This balanced approach will be crucial against Texas A&M.


Turnovers were kept relatively low at just over 12 per game last season; maintaining or improving upon this will be key in controlling the pace against their opponents. With field goals made averaging around 26 shots per game and three-pointers at nearly seven makes a match-up strategy focusing on shot selection could prove beneficial for Nebraska.


The Huskers' fans should expect their team to leverage their strengths—free throw accuracy and true shooting—to capitalize on scoring opportunities while continuing to apply pressure defensively through rebounds and steals.


The clash between these two collegiate titans is scheduled for March 22nd at noon Central Time (CT) at FedExForum in Memphis. Fans can catch all the action live as it unfolds on court by tuning into local broadcasts or streaming services that carry college basketball games.
