Texas A&M Basketball (16-8, 5-6 SEC) meets Kentucky for the second time this season in a critical conference rematch. Can the Aggies get revenge?
The last time Texas A&M basketball met Kentucky on the court this season they lost by the narrowest of margins on a highly questionable call. The one point defeat came in the midst of rough month of January that saw the Aggies drop five consecutive SEC games.
A lot has happened since that game and these two teams could not be trending in more divergent directions. The Aggies, winners of three straight, most recently upset SEC-leading No. 8 Auburn on the road. Conversely, Kentucky has cooled off. The Wildcats needed overtime to beat Vanderbilt before dropping back-to-back games to Missouri and Tennessee.
