What channel is Kentucky vs Texas A&M on today? UK basketball odds, game time, TV schedule

Posted by Admin January 14, 2025 Basketball

LEXINGTON — Prior to last season, Kentucky basketball had lost to Texas A&M just four times in 17 matchups. But the Aggies won both meetings during the 2023-24 campaign, earning a 97-92 overtime victory on Jan. 13, 2024, in College Station, Texas. Two months later, UK went one and done in the SEC Tournament thanks to Texas A&M, which picked up a 97-87 win in Nashville, Tennessee.

The squads square off again tonight at Rupp Arena. And it will be a game featuring a pair of ranked squads. The Wildcats are No. 9 in the newest USA TODAY Coaches Poll, two spots ahead of the Aggies; in the Associated Press rankings, Kentucky is No. 8 while A&M is 11th.

It’s also a contest pitting two of the SEC’s (and the country’s) best: The teams sport identical records overall (13-3) and in league play (2-1).

It will be the first time first-year UK coach Mark Pope matches wits with Texas A&M’s Buzz Williams.

But fifth-year senior Kentucky guard Jaxson Robinson is no stranger to the Aggies: He spent his freshman season with the program in 2020-21 before transferring to Arkansas (and then BYU and UK).

Here’s what you need to know to follow today’s game from home:
