No. 14 Kentucky (13-3, 3-1) hosted the Mississippi State Bulldogs (7-8, 0-3) and got a fight it wasn't expecting. The Bulldogs had one of their best shooting nights of the year hitting about 53 percent of their shots from the floor and had three guys in double-figures. However, that wasn't enough to win as the Wildcats got the 80-74 victory.
