Second half defense allows Kentucky to grind out win over Texas A&M

Sometimes college basketball is ugly, but all wins count the same. At Reed Arena, Kentucky gutted out a 64-58 win over a Texas A&M by just finding a way.

Despite a sluggish start and an inability to get over the hump in the second half, the Wildcats refused to lose, and this time it was the defense giving John Calipari’s team a chance to end the night victorious.

The game was a grinder where Buzz Williams got his team to dictate the terms of the action, but that was still not enough to knock off No.
