Kentucky's Brutal Season Ends With One-Point Loss to Mississippi State in SEC Tournament

One of the worst seasons in Kentucky men's basketball history has come to an end.

The Wildcats failed to overcome a 15-point deficit as Dontaie Allen's three on the final possession bounced off the rim and sealed their 74–73 loss to Mississippi State in the second round of the SEC tournament.

Trailing by 14 with 15:40 left in the game, Allen hit a free throw to start a personal run. He scored 15 of the team's 21 points as the Wildcats attempted to mount a comeback and tie the game at 62 with less than eight minutes remaining.
