Kentucky Men’s Basketball is in the midst of its toughest stretch of games so far this season. After a much-bemoaned non-conference slate of games that saw very little competition, UK is currently in the thick of regular showdowns against ranked opponents.
Tuesday’s late-night matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs will be sandwiched right in between two top 10 matchups, both of which come on the road. The first was a loss to the now-No. 1 ranked Auburn Tigers this past Saturday with the second coming against No. 5 Kansas this weekend. Oh yeah, UK will hit the road again the following weekend to take on a dangerous Alabama team.
