You knew going in that Kentucky would have to play at a high level or something would have to go their way. Well, shooting like that - like we haven't seen them in a long time - was the recipe.
Jaxson Robinson knocked down shot after shot to build leads and keep MSU at bay but that typical balance was there again as well.
UK showed great mental toughness tonight because MSU came out strong and the building was about to explode but they were resilient and you could see their confidence grow over the game. UK held its own on the glass.
They did turn it over at times but Kentucky ran great offense at times. Lots of assists, great ball movement, good cuts. Really good offensive execution for much of the night. Knocking down shots makes everything look better but they did execute much better overall.
Mississippi State was No. 12 in the NET rankings going into tonight and as a road contest that's going to hold as a Quad 1 win.
