Kentucky had to get a win on the road in Starkville last night.
While it wasn’t pretty and won’t go down as an instant classic, the Wildcats picked up a massive road win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs by a score of 71-68 for a much-needed Quad 1 win.
Some clutch free throw shooting from Oscar Tshiebwe and Chris Livingston in the final minutes helped seal the win and give Kentucky a big road win to keep the Cats alive on the bubble.
The Wildcats still showed some areas of concern, namely giving up a 13-point second half lead and some other late-game situational struggles, but the Cats showed some toughness to close out the game in a hostile environment.
