What a weekend it’s been for Kentucky Wildcats athletics.
After Saturday’s big day that saw the football Cats win the Gator Bowl and the men’s basketball team win a double-overtime game at Mississippi State, the women’s basketball team pulled off a monster OT win of their own today in Starkville, beating No. 12 Mississippi State 92-86.
Junior guard Rhyne Howard reminded everyone why she’s one of, if not the best player in women’s college basketball and one of the favorites for National Player of the Year honors. Howard erupted for 33 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, including 10 points in overtime as she alone outscored the Bulldogs in the final frame.
