A battle in Starkville is what we witnessed on an unusual 8:30 Wednesday night game, as the Kentucky Wildcats pulled out the much-needed road win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs, 71-68. It was just the second Quad 1 win of the season for Kentucky, though that number could be up to three now thanks to Texas A&M beating Arkansas.
It certainly wasn’t pretty, especially with some late-game mistakes that trimmed what was a 13-point Kentucky lead all the way down to one in the closing seconds. Thankfully, the Cats made their free throws and came away with the three-point victory.
