Over the last few seasons, arguably no team in the SEC Conference has been a bigger thorn in the side of Kentucky basketball hopes than Texas A&M. Just think of it as the continuing curse of Billy Gillispie – like Bear Bryant, only backwards. Or something like that.
The Cats enjoy a 6-3 record all-time against the Aggies, but the team from College Station has been especially game in recent meetings, with four of the last five games going into overtime, including the last three consecutive.
The Cats took the last one, an 82-77 thriller to win the SEC Tournament in Nashville last season.
