Following Kentucky’s late loss at Alabama on Saturday, a 10-0 deficit against Texas A&M early in the Wildcats’ SEC season opener wasn’t exactly the start they were looking for. However, behind a platoon performance, all hands were on deck in rallying the Wildcats to a 46-34 half-time lead.
While the Aggies battled back throughout the second half to cut Kentucky’s lead to 69-66, the Wildcats pulled through late behind the heroics of Ashton Hagans and Tyler Herro for a 85-71 win.
After scoring 10 in the first half, the Herro poured in 11 second half points to reach 21 for the game.
