Kentucky has the advantage in nearly every major statistical category.  Texas A&M won the prior match-up 79-77 on their home floor.  Kentucky has signature wins over two ranked teams: Louisville and Duke.  Texas A&M has signature wins over four ranked teams: Gonzaga, Baylor, Iowa State, and Kentucky.  This should be a very tight game but I like Kentucky to win.
