The Kentucky Wildcats are headed to Starkville, Mississippi, where they’ll take on the Bulldogs. But, of course, Saturday’s game isn’t the first time these teams will go head-to-head this season. The Cats already secured the series’ Rupp Arena victory, defeating MSU 76-55 on January 22, 2019. The win gave then-No. 8 UK their fifth consecutive victory.
So, how’d they do it then? And how can they do it again? Let’s take a look.
Defense
This was the biggest advantage the Cats had last time they played the Dogs. The teams’ last matchup came right as Kentucky’s defense was falling into place, and the Wildcats’ efforts were on full display.
