The University of Kentucky had a rare opportunity to pick up two wins in one day, and contradicting everything history tells us the football team was the easy bet. Despite being down for most of regulation to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team fought back through two overtimes to start out 1-0 in SEC play.
The final score was 78-73 in favor of the Wildcats. Freshman wing Terrence Clarke was out for the game due to an ankle injury he suffered last week. John Calipari was ejected after receiving two technical fouls.
