Arkansas Game Preview: Texas A&M Mens Basketball Riding High After Kentucky Upset

ESPN's Jay Bilas says Texas A&M Mens Basketball can beat "just about anybody" after upsetting Kentucky.

After the Texas A&M Aggies beat the now No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats 97-92 in overtime, ESPN's Jay Bilas told TexAgs that the Aggies are capable of beating "just about anybody." 

Next, they will face Arkansas at Bud Walton Arena on Tuesday, January 16th at 8 pm CT on SEC Network, which does not have an impressive track record. 

The Razorbacks are 9-7 and have lost three straight games in the SEC. Looking to break their losing streak after coming up short in each of their SEC matchups by double digits.

Despite A&M's two SEC losses to LSU and 16th-ranked Auburn, a big showing from Wade Taylor IV and Tyrece Radford helped them pull off a major upset against the Wildcats scoring eight of the team's eight points in overtime. 

While the Aggies have struggled offensively this season, the Kentucky confidence booster might set them on a better trajectory ahead of Tuesday's game in Arkansas. 

On TexasAgs Radio, Bilas said he believes this matchup shows what A&M is capable of, maybe they aren't one of the top ten teams in the country, but they can beat Kentucky.

Players to watch in this matchup are Wade Taylor leading the Aggies in points and assists per game, scoring 18.2 points and distributing 4.1 assists. As well as Andersson Garcia as the Aggies' top rebounder, hauling in an average of 8.6 boards in each game. 

The Aggies are favored to keep the momentum going in this SEC matchup on the road.
