Texas A & M Corpus Christi vs Southeast Missouri State Redhawks Prediction: Tipping off a prestigious tournament

The NCAA basketball tourney is one of the most celebrated events in the world and brings to us some of the best youth basketball players in the world. This is a great opportunity to catch up on emerging talent as we head to the March Madness stage. To tip off the March Madness tourney, we jump into the game between the Texas A & M Corpus Christi and Southeast Missouri State.

Texas A & M Corpus Christi has one of the best offenses in the nation and they have an average of around 80.4 points which places them in the 17th best position, which is a creamy layer. Trevian Tennyson has led them in scoring, averaging almost 16 points a game. Isaac Mushila is averaging over 14 points whereas Terrion Murdix averaged over 13 points. Murdix was also the assist leader, dishing over 5 a game but he has been ruled out of the season after an injury. Isaac is the rebounds leader with almost 10 rebounds a game, making him one of the best rebounders in the college scene. 

Southeast Missouri had 19 wins and 16 losses this season in the OVC MBB Conference. They finished 45th in points per game, averaging 76.3 a game and having a dependable scorer in Phillipp Russell who averaged over 18 points a game whereas Chris Harris averaged over 15 points, however, both shot below 40%. The team is well-adept at getting to the Free-Throw Line and was ranked 14th in attempts. Defense was a problem for the team and they were ranked among the bottom 40 teams out of the 363 teams in terms of points allowed per game. 

• Texas A & M CC: OUT: Terrion Murdix, Stephen Giwa;
• Southeast Missouri State Redhawks: Nothing to report.

Texas has a big chance of nabbing a win here because Southeast Missouri has showcased many frailties. SE Missouri has been a strong free-throw shooting team so that is something Texas will have to keep in mind. Anyway, I favor the Texans here to win in a relatively high-scoring match.
