Texas-Arlington Mavericks at St. Mary’s Gaels Prediction
Texas-Arlington is one of the best teams in the country in limiting three-point shooting. The Mavericks are ranked 12th nationally, allowing opponents to hit just 27%. The Mavericks are better than the Gaels in lowering opponent field-goal percentages overall. The hallmark of the Gaels’ success season is their ability to shoot more efficiently than the opposition. The Mavericks come in to this game on a roll and they have taken down some quality outfits along the way. For example, the Mavericks dominated Texas on their own court as a seven point pooch. In this contest, Mavericks held the Longhorns to just 13% from behind the three point line. On their current streak, Texas-Arlington has won every game they were supposed to lose and asserted their will in every game they were expected to win. This is a dangerous basketball team that is a prime suspect of coming in and stealing a win. The Mavericks’ last defeat was at Arkansas where as a twelve-point pup they nearly pulled off the upset straight-up, as the Razorbacks needed to resort to theatrics to get out of Fayetteville with a win. The hosts need to beware the Mavericks as they are coming to town with more than just the idea of keeping this one close. This is a team that can win outright if this becomes a defensive-minded affair.
