The Xavier Musketeers take on the Texas A&M Aggies for the NIT Championship. The Musketeers are 22-13 and the Aggies are 27-12.

I see defense being the major factor in the NIT Finals. The Aggies have won by at least 12 points in each of their previous four games while the Musketeers have had to grind out wins throughout the tournament. The Aggie's defense wi lead to steals and easy baskets. Xavier, this season, has a tendency to get down early in the game and if that happens I don't see them coming back against this defense.

Play on Texas A&M. This is a 8* play.
