Kentucky uses strong first quarter to cruise to 75-55 bounce back victory over Texas

[Matt Dillon]

Kentucky has struggled mightily over the last month or so, but with Texas A&M in town on Thursday, the Cats had a chance to get their groove back against an Aggies squad that just upset No. 23 Alabama. Plus, after losing to A&M last year 61-55 in College Station, Kentucky would surely come into this matchup extra hungry to get the win.

And get the win they did, as Kentucky beat Texas A&M 75-55 to snap a two-game skid and move to 19-7 (6-6 SEC) on the year.

Tonie Morgan had five points and five assists through the first quarter of play, and her third of the night was a record-breaker. With her 214th assist of the season, Morgan set the Kentucky single season assists record, breaking the record that Georgia Amoore set a year ago. Morgan did so through five less games.

I watched this game. Not Stracks best effort, but still had a nice line. They let the Aggies PG blow right past them for scoop shots non-stop. Should have won this game by 30 or more. After the first qtr they played us pretty even and it shouldn't have been. We have a tendency to get VERY cold for long stretches.
