That would be nice because they are exactly the type team we struggle with. It will be like a football game.
They have to release it a day before. I 100% expect him to be listed as questionable and then make his triumphant return against UK.
It is time to get on board and ride the train to victory.
Btw, Taylor scored 32 in SEC Tournament against us.

I thought he was a great freshman in 1997
He averaged over 30 per game against uk last season.
Came here to make a similar comment. Been in college FOREVER!
First time in UK history that a head coach goes up against a player he played against. Taylor had 15 points against Pope and the 96 Cats his first year in college.
His son is pretty good too. Wade Taylor V. First father and son duo in college.
Oh I remember it quite well. With about 10 minutes left in that game I told my wife it was over. She was like there is plenty of time. I was like we have Poole over here trying to screw us as a ref, Taylor is shredding us and we can’t stop a fence post. Cal went back to his damn plow ball and it looked like we hadn’t even seen T A&M play one minute on tape.
Wade Taylor IV has been playing so long, I think there is already a Wade Taylor V and a Wade Taylor VI already in high school.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think he’s one of the most overrated players in the country. Every once in a while, he’ll get hot and have a huge game, which unfortunately happened twice against us last year. For the most part though, he’s an extreme volume shooter who gets too much credit for having a good points per game average on a team that mostly succeeds due to defense and offensive rebounds. Shooting 39% from the floor overall and 34% from 3 on over 12 shots per game this year is not special at all, and it’s actually a small improvement over last year when he had 37%/33% shooting splits on 16 attempts per game.
All that to say that I’m not sure he moves the needle quite as much as people think. They’ll still be a threat if he doesn’t play. We can still beat them even if he does.

He is the same thing as Jaxson Robinson. He is a shot chucker, who is either nuclear hit, or ice cold.
I think your post is mostly correct. Texas A&M plays a different style of basketball. The emphasis is on driving the ball, make the bucket, or get the foul, or miss and tap out for an offensive rebound.
Wade is very much a part of the equation and his absence is significant. It would be great if he made it for the game, but I’m guessing he’s on the bench.
If you guys don’t play defense like some posters suggest, then the Wildcats will find themselves in foul trouble. BUT, no worries there — we can’t seem to be able to shoot from charity stripe.
Would love for the Aggies to win (without Wade) just don’t see it. And for the record, Wade has only played for A&M and this is his 4th year. He is a stand up kid although your comment on him being “an extreme volume shooter” can be too true. Some of his shots can only be described as aspirationaly cringy.
Why is a Duke fan posting about A&M? I’m an Aggie by marriage… not that anyone on this board gives two sh!ts…
Hoping for a win, but just not seeing it at Rupp.
