Texas A&M (19-10, 9-7 SEC) needs to get back on track after losing to rival Texas 76-70 on Saturday afternoon, losing back-to-back games after defeating Ole Miss and Oklahoma the week prior. Likely needing two more wins to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, the Aggies are still on the right side of the bubble, but now face Kentucky at home and LSU on the road to finish the regular season.
Throughout the season, health has not been an issue for the Aggies, outside of losing transfer forward Mackenzie Mgbako halfway through non-conference play, but it's clear the late-season fatigue has affected the team over the last two weeks, especially for the starting rotation. Facing a Kentucky team with an identical record, both teams are healthy heading into Tuesday night's massive matchup.
According to the latest SEC injury report, Texas A&M's lineup is completely healthy, while Kentucky will be without three players who have not been available since January. Like nearly every one of the Aggies' 16 SEC opponents, the Wildcats possess a size advantage, while senior guard Otega Oweh could have his way with A&M's defense after scoring 23 points during Saturday's win over No. 25 Vanderbilt.
First-year head coach Bucky McMillan needs much more from his starting lineup outside of Rashaun Agee and Marcus Hill, who combined for 39 points against Texas. After hitting just two three-pointers on Saturday, the Aggies must match their season average of 11 threes to have a shot at defeating the Wildcats, which would go a long way towards reaching the postseason.
