On Thursday night, Kentucky women’s basketball (9-13, 2-6) was defeated by the Mississippi State Bulldogs (18-5, 5-3) 77-74 in overtime.
Mississippi State was surfing a high wave into Lexington as the Bulldogs most recently defeated the No. 9 ranked LSU Tigers on Jan. 29.
Despite that, as has been the case a lot in men’s and women’s college basketball this season, teams tend to decline after big wins and Kentucky looked to take advantage of that in hopes that State would be another one of those squads trending downwards.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they struggled from the free-throw line once more while also adding another negative in their inability to sink three-point shots.
