It’s odd to think Kentucky basketball is playing must-win games with three weeks left in the regular season. But that’s exactly what coach John Calipari and his team are facing on the road tonight vs. the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
The need of a win comes at a bad time, too, considering the injuries Kentucky is dealing with and how the Bulldogs have won five straight with wins over No. 11 TCU, South Carolina, Missouri, LSU and most recently Arkansas.
On the flip side, Kentucky has played four of those five teams this season and beaten just one of them (LSU) by three points.
