Kentucky at Mississippi State Predictions/Updates

[16thBBall Fan]

The #6 ranked Kentucky Wildcats (12-3) (1-1) travel to Starkville to take on the #14 Mississippi State Bulldogs (14-1) (2-0) as they are up 20 points currently at Vandy. The Cats will need to play a lot better than they did tonight in Georgia. The game is a late tip at 8:30pm and is again on the SEC Network. Go Cats!

With the defensive struggles so far this year. I would like to see Pope mix it up and try to force the issue on defense by pressing like they were at the end of the Georgia game. That means he will need to go a little deeper into his bench to give guys a few more breaks. However, especially on the road where the offense has struggled this year. Might as well try to see if they can create things defensively.

I'm pulling for my boys, but we do not have a lot of evidence to suggest they can pull this one out.

"The Hump" always seems like a cool venue for a game. It projects well on television, though, it may be a "dump" in real life.

In pregame ESPN's BPI had Miss. State with a 65% chance to win compared to the Cats 35%.

The Cats have one of their better halves since the Florida game and led the Bulldogs 49-44 at the half. The Cats shot ball very well shooting 53% from the floor and 47% from 3.

Travis Perry was called for a foul when a State player hooked him on a drive into the lane and basically threw him down onto the court. They called the basket good and awarded a free throw, lol.

Robinson on fire from 3. This is what we were told to expect in the pre-season, he won the zags game for us. Keep hitting the boards.

The Cats lead the Dogs 68-60 with 13:30 to play.
