COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Rylan Griffen and Ruben Dominguez came off the bench to score 21 and 17 points respectively and Texas A&M defeated Kentucky 96-85 on Tuesday night.
With Griffen and Dominguez (who have 48 combined starts) leading the way, the Aggies held a dominant 57-39 advantage in bench points.
Rashaun Agee had 14 points and eight rebounds and Pop Isaacs contributed 12 points, six rebounds and eight assists for Texas A&M (20-10, 10-7 SEC), which had lost six of eight coming in. Zach Clemence had 13 points. He, Griffen and Dominguez combined to make 12 of the Aggies’ 13 3-pointers.
