Join me back here for live coverage of Kentucky vs Texas A&M, along with updates before tip-off!

It's a safe bet that this game will be one of the more thrilling ones of the Selection Sunday afternoon. These two teams share a hatred after their last meeting and a rematch with such high stakes will make for the perfect end to the SEC season. 

With how the Aggies shot against Kentucky in their previous meeting, there's no reason to think they won't do it again. Their players are excited they get to play for the first SEC Tournament title for the school and will come well prepared against Kentucky. The Wildcats will likely see the same thing they got with Goergia, a large deficit early but a nice second half like this team normally does.

Of course, Georgia tried the foul trouble route and was successful in getting the fouls drawn, but a couple of Kentucky players decided they weren't going to let a little adversity get the better of them. Kentucky's Tyler Ulis and Jamal Murray find ways to make up for mistakes made by their teammates. Both players are elite scorers and know what to do on the play at all time on the court. Both players are still very young underclassmen, and the leadership they both show on the court cannot be matched.

The recipe for success in this one for the Wildcats to get their post players involved early in the game. Threes are fantastic and exciting, but when a big man gets positioned and scores over a defender, it creates an even better sense of momentum. Texas A&M's recipe is that they must get these UK big men in foul trouble, if Kentucky's bigs can't stay in then the rebounds become easier to get.

Both Kentucky and Texas A&M both have played two games and they panned out pretty differently. Kentucky blew out their first opponent but needed a second half surge to come back and beat the Georgia Bulldogs in the semifinals. The Aggies had control of the game over Florida, but could never work up a big lead on the Gators and they matched the unimpressive win with a complete stomping of the Ben Simmons lead LSU TigersTexas A&M gets the slight advantage in this game as LSU became a non-factor early in the game and Simmons quickly realized his team wasn't as good as it was made out to be. Kentucky was given the fight of their lives as Georgia was hitting any contested shot they took. The Bulldogs may have lost by double-digits, but they made the Wildcats earn that win.

Tyler Davis, a 6'10 center, made the put back layup at the buzzer that beat the Wildcats after the controversial technical foul. With Skal Labissiere able to hold his own now, along with Derek Willis playing more than he had, the Wildcats won't be so vulnerable on the boards. As long as Kentucky is able to put bodies while boxing out, they won't get as many chances to score in the game.

There's quite a difference maker in this game that could add a new aspect to a big story in the last game between these teams. Texas A&M was on the glass almost every possession and no Kentucky player would box properly. Now, Kentucky has one of their elite defenders they didn't have back then, Alex Poythress. Poythress adds a huge hint of athleticism on the boards and contests shots in the post better than any other WildcatTexas A&M's Danuel House will finally meed Poythress down low for the match up everyone expected the first time around. House made big shots like the rest of the Aggies and even created the offensive put back that ended up winning the game. Now with Poythress as a factor, the Wildcats have more size and agility to keep up with House.

The Wildcats and the Aggies had a headed back-and-forth event in their first meeting and now have a chance to match that battle with another on an even more intense playing field. Despite the controversy involved in that first meeting, the two teams played one of the better games this year and with these two teams taking very different roads to get to the final, it could get interesting.

This SEC Tournament final marks the sixth time in seven years Kentucky has made it with John Calipari as their head coach. Texas A&M have reached their first SEC final since joining the league in 2012-13. The Wildcats are just one win away from their 29th SEC Tournament title, completely dominating the league in every eay possible.
