Kentucky beats Mississippi State: 5 things to know and postgame banter

The Kentucky Wildcats took care of business at home tonight, beating the Mississippi State Bulldogs 80-72. The Wildcats were in control for the entire game, and thankfully some key players stepped up to keep the game in hand for Kentucky.

EJ Montgomery had a fantastic game, putting up 12 points and 8 rebounds in addition to many impressive hustle plays. Nick Richards was the real story for Kentucky once again, however, scoring 27 and pulling down 11 rebounds.

The Wildcats looked better than last Saturday, but certainly have room for improvement.
