Dr. John Thornton liked the fight he saw from A&M against No. 8 Wildcats

Key notes from John Thornton interview

• We’ve all seen Kentucky on television; we knew what they were about. I’ve been impressed with them obviously, but in person, they were way more speed-oriented than I realized. That is a good roster that they have, and they came in here and performed well. A&M got them at their best.
   
• I thought that Kentucky didn’t play through Richards enough in the games that I saw.
