There were only a few bright spots in the Kentucky Wildcats 78-71 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Starkville, the rest of the game was lackluster.
De’Aaron Fox provided the late game heroics while Wenyen Gabriel was stellar for a second game in a row with 13 points, eight rebounds, three blocks, and a perfect shooting night from the floor. Derek Willis kept the ‘Cats afloat in the first half scoring 13 points. The rest was nothing to write home about.
