After losing back-to-back games at South Carolina and at home to Florida, Kentucky bounced back Tuesday night with a 78-65 victory over Mississippi State in Rupp Arena, moving the Wildcats’ record to 15-5 overall with a 5-3 mark in the SEC.
11 regular season games remain for this young Kentucky team, including a tough test on Saturday when the Wildcats will face off against 7th-ranked West Virginia in Morgantown as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge. The Mountaineers, who started the season 15-1, have dropped three of their last four games, including an 82-73 road loss at TCU on Monday.
