Texas A&M vs. Kentucky CBB Prediction:
Take Kentucky. The Wildcats have too much offensive firepower for a Texas A&M team that doesn’t score the ball well. The Aggies ranked 352nd in team field goal percentage at 39.6% while Kentucky sits at 5th at nearly 50%. Buzz Williams always has teams play hard and this will likely be a battle, but in the end the talent just isn’t there for the Aggies to hang with this outstanding Kentucky roster.
