The Kentucky Wildcats used big games from Julius Mays and Nerlens Noel to get a big conference road win in overtime over Texas A&M 72-68.
Mays finished with 19 points, nailing 4 of 6 from 3, and hitting 5 for 6 from the free throw line and seemed to be the go to guy when the Wildcats needed a big bucket down the stretch.
Nerlens Noel has another huge game, scoring 19 points and grabbing 14 rebounds to dominate the paint for the Wildcats.
The Wildcats stay hot and have two winnable home games next week with South Carolina and Auburn coming to town.
