Texas A&M-Kentucky Prediction
Remember when Kentucky and Texas A&M were the two best teams in the SEC a few years ago? The Wildcats and Aggies both made the Sweet 16 last year, but they did so after struggling in the regular season. This year, Kentucky has shown glimpses of the team it could eventually become, but impressive wins over North Carolina and Louisville in late December did not carry John Calipari’s team into the start of the SEC season. Kentucky was badly outplayed in the first 35 minutes by Alabama before a desperate, late rally fell just short. The Wildcats will make the NCAA Tournament, but if they don’t get going, they won’t get a particularly high seed. Texas A&M’s season has been a disaster. The Aggies are going nowhere, and Rupp Arena is not the place to be when your identity is hard to find. Kentucky 83, Texas A&M 68. (Matt Zemek)
