Mississippi State-Kentucky Prediction
This is the Kentucky team fans hoped to see. The Wildcats’ starting five looked strong and formidable this past weekend on the road against Auburn. The Cats briefly lost their lead, but a terrible intentional foul call on Kentucky played a part in Auburn’s late rally. Kentucky was able to withstand it and get out of Auburn Arena with a victory which stamped Big Blue as the clear primary challenger to Tennessee for SEC supremacy. Walking into Rupp Arena, intent on denting that aura of renewed confidence, will be a Mississippi State team which stabilized over the past week but needs to beat some upper-tier teams in the SEC to solidify its NCAA Tournament status. MSU can’t just beat the Floridas and Vanderbilts of the SEC. It needs more. It probably won’t get Big Blue. Kentucky 80, MSU 73. (By Matt Zemek)
