Kentucky ended the worst season in the history of the program with a disappointing loss to Mississippi State in the second round of the SEC Tournament this afternoon.
After fighting back from a double-digit deficit to actually take a 5-point lead late in the game, the Wildcats (9-16) still managed to lose 74-73.
Dontaie Allen, who scored a game-high 23 points off the UK bench, had one last shot to win it at the buzzer, but his 23-footer clanked off the rim and Mississippi State (15-13) advanced to tomorrow’s quarterfinal round.
Kentucky is now left to pick up the pieces following their first losing season since 1989.
