Each week here at KSR, we try to give you interesting angles, insights, and analysis to review Kentucky’s previous games and preview upcoming opponents. Sometimes I’ll find an interesting statistic to build an article off of or a specific quote from a coach or player that caught me off guard throughout the week. Like always, I made an effort to do the same prior to Kentucky’s matchup with Mississippi State last night.
Going into the game, MSU was easily considered Kentucky’s toughest opponent thus far, and likely the second or third-hardest game of the season. The Bulldogs came in as ten-point favorites, and I’m not sure anyone really disagreed with that line.
