Aggies Down No. 6 Kentucky in OT
Led by an offensive barrage by Wade Taylor IV and Tyrece Radford, the Aggies blew past No. 6 Kentucky in overtime for a 97-92 win inside Reed Arena in College Station on Saturday.
Taylor IV poured in a game-high 31 while Radford added a season-high 28 to send the Wildcats home with their proverbial tail between their legs.
Taylor IV recovered from poor long-range shooting in his previous two games to make 6 of 13 from beyond the arc.
Radford hit two foul shots with just seven seconds left in regulation to give A&M a two-point edge and force a long 3-pointer by Rob Dillingham as time expired. Radford was called for a foul on the rebound to send Reed Sheppard to the line with less than a full second remaining in the game. He hit both shots to send the game to overtime.
In the overtime period, Taylor and Dillingham made seven 3-pointers combined going back and forth until the Aggies prevailed.
Antonio Reeves scored 22 for the Wildcats, while D.J. Wagner chipped in 18 and Dillingham finished with 15.
It's the Aggies' first win over Kentucky in four tries with Buzz Williams on the bench with all four games being decided by an average of under five points.
Next up for A&M is a two-game road trip that begins with a Tuesday afternoon tilt against the Razorbacks at 2 p.m. CT.
