Kentucky Wildcats Defeat Texas A&M 81-69

The No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats secured an 81-69 victory against the No. 11 Texas A&M Aggies in a hard-fought game at Rupp Arena, marking their fifth win against ranked opponents this season. Jaxson Robinson shone with 22 points, including five three-pointers, while Andrew Carr and Otega Oweh contributed 13 and 11 points, respectively. Despite a rocky start, Kentucky rallied in the second half, overcoming a deficit to maintain their perfect home record. Texas A&M struggled offensively, particularly in the second half, and missed the leadership of injured senior Wade Taylor IV, leading to their second consecutive SEC loss. Zhuric Phelps led the Aggies with 21 points, but the team faced challenges in rebounding and shooting efficiency. Both teams will look to bounce back in their upcoming games, with Kentucky facing Alabama and Texas A&M hosting LSU.
