When Texas A&M takes the court against Oklahoma in this Sweet 16 NCAA Tournament matchup, the Aggies still might be hearing about pulling off the largest final-minute comeback in college basketball history. Their 92-88 double overtime win against Northern Iowa - coming from 12 points down with 34 seconds left in regulation - is one for the ages.

But life moves on. And the reality for these Texas A&M college kids is even if they are mentally ready - which is not a given - they are not the better team against Oklahoma. The Sooners score more points per game, shoot a higher percentage from the floor, are much better from the free throw line than the Aggies while also ranking No. 2 in the country in 3-point shooting.

Truth be told, Texas A&M wasn't sharp against Northern Iowa. The Aggies were lucky to draw overmatched Green Bay in the first round and then struggled with the Panthers. That doesn't bode well for stepping up against the Sooners.

Team play can get you this far. But now superstars come into real prominence and Oklahoma might have the best player in the country, Buddy Hield. He's a monster that Texas A&M can't match up against. The Aggies play good defense, but they don't have a defensive stopper to hold down Hield. The Aggies do pressure the ball well. But the Sooners have three solid ballhandlers to take care of that.

The Sooners have the guard play, excellent perimeter shooting and superstar to easily beat the Aggies.
