Where would the 2014-15 Kentucky Wildcats be without Freshman sharp-shooter Devin Booker? "Book" was 4 for 7 from deep and led UK with 18 points on an afternoon where points in the paint were hard to come by.

The Texas A&M Aggies gave UK all it wanted behind Houston, Texas-Area SG Danuel House. House went at the Harrison Twins among other UK Guards (as the Harrison Twins also hail from the Houston-Area) and scored a game-high 25 points. He also grabbed nine boards as Gig'Em Hoops was in position to get the upset.

It was House's free throws at the end of regulation that tied the score at 53 that sent the game into the first extra period. It was Kentucky's Freshman Trey Lyles who sent the game into the second extra period with two free throws in the first overtime with seven seconds remaining.

In the end the 'Cats have too many horses as they outscore the Aggies 13-7 in the 2nd extras session for a 70-64 "W". UK moves to 15-0 and 2-0 in the SEC with both of those W's going to extras sessions. The Aggies fall to 9-5 and 0-2 in the SEC.

Aaron Harrison added a dozen for UK as he was the only other UK player outside of "Book" to net double figures. Kourtney Roberson added 11 points and eight boards for Gig'em Hoops.
