Texas A&M Aggies
Last time out, Texas A&M hosted the Florida Gators and escaped with a 54-52 win. The Aggies are not a fun team to watch, but the results are all that matter and they one of the last two remaining unbeaten teams in SEC play. This game was an ugly watch as the Aggies led by 11 at the half – Florida had just 12 total points – but were forced to work for the win in the end. Texas A&M led by as many as 13 points, never trailed, and did not cover the -3.0-point spread.
Dexter Dennis had 11 points, 16 rebounds, and one block in the victory. Julius Marble added 19 points, one rebound, and one block on the night.
Through 18 games, Texas A&M is scoring 74.9 points per game, shooting 45.0% from the field, and assisting on 13.7 made shots. The Aggies are allowing 65.6 points, grabbing 37.3 rebounds, blocking 2.7 shots, and stealing the ball 7.6 times.
Kentucky Wildcats
Kentucky hosted the Georgia Bulldogs and used a huge second half to win 85-71. The Bulldogs came to play in this one as they led all of the first half and built an eight-point advantage at halftime. Kentucky woke up at the break, quickly took the lead back, and dominated for the final 20 minutes to get the important win. Kentucky trailed by as many as 11 points, led by as much as 14, and covered the -11.0-point spread.
Oscar Tshiebwe went off for 37 points, 24 rebounds, one assist, three steals, and one block in the victory. Jacob Toppin added 11 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two blocks on the night.
