Kentucky quickly fell into an 8-1 deficit not even two minutes into the action. While high pace favored the ‘Cats, Texas A&M was red-hot. But the tide shifted in UK’s favor once Dillingham and Sheppard checked in. Kentucky took its first lead, 16-15, at the 13:15 mark. Sheppard, in particular, got rolling.
The SEC Freshman of the Year poured in 14 first-half points, even hitting back-to-back triples at one point. Dillingham had 11 of his own, but Wade Taylor and his 18 points couldn’t be stopped. Eventually, Texas A&M ballooned its lead to double-digits. Kentucky typically had an answer, but the Aggies always did too.
A made three-pointer from Tyrece Radford, one of eight first-half makes from deep for A&M, gave the Aggies its largest lead of the game to this point at 11 with 3:08 until the intermission. Kentucky was able to cut it down to six by the break despite Reeves playing just nine minutes due to foul trouble.
Texas A&M finally cooled off from deep to start the second half, but Kentucky still couldn’t get all the way back. The Aggies decided to go into the paint and immediately made a living. Reeves actually made it a three-point game right out of the gate, but soon picked up his third foul and went straight back to the bench.
