Big-time performances from Maci Morris and Rhyne Howard were not enough to rescue the University of Kentucky women’s basketball team on Sunday.
After trailing No. 25 Texas A&M for the entire afternoon, the No. 15 Wildcats had a shot to tie or take the lead with less than 10 seconds to play. But Howard’s mid-range jumper came up short and UK fell to the Aggies, 73-71, in College Station. Texas A&M has now won three games in a row against the Wildcats.
“You have to give Texas A&M all the credit today. They really fought hard and made a few more plays than we did,” UK Coach Matthew Mitchell said.
