Meanwhile, Ole Miss came up short against the Texas A&M Aggies this past Saturday, falling 76-66. The losing side was boosted by guard Tye Fagan, who had ten points and eight assists.

UK is the favorite in this one, with an expected 17-point margin of victory. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with the Wildcats, who are 14-15 against the spread.
