The Kentucky Wildcats entered the SEC Tournament needing to win 4 games in 4 days to make the NCAA Tournament as they faced the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
The game got off to a rough start as Kentucky missed six of their first seven shots and Mississippi State made just two of their first seven resulting in a 5-5 tie at the first media timeout.
Mississippi State then began to bully the Cats in the post as they built an 11-6 lead with just over 13 minutes to play.
Kentucky would cut the lead to 13-11 by the under 12 media timeout but things then began to take a bad swing.
