The Wildcats’ loss at Auburn is still lingering on the minds of the BBN. The players must move on quickly or Mississippi State could sneak out of Rupp Arena with a win.
History dictates that the Bulldogs don’t stand a chance. John Calipari has never lost to Mississippi State. Since he arrived at Kentucky the Wildcats are 14-0 against their foes from Starkville, who last beat UK in February of 2009. Ben Howland has a 1-6 all-time record against the Cats. Howland’s only victory over Kentucky came in the 2006 Maui Invitational final when Aaron Afflalo, Darren Collison and Russell Westbrook were in the middle of three straight Final Four campaigns.
