Cats Survive Tousle With Mississippi State
The BBL will provide complete details soon, but it's safe to say that Kentucky was a little underwhelming in a six point home win over struggling Mississippi State Tuesday night.
UK was led by Brandon Knight's 24 points and 7 assists, but it was really the defensive pressure down the stretch that keyed UK's win.
Doron Lamb and Terrence Jones also had solid offensive games for the Cats, but DeAndre Liggins sort of receded back into a former version of himself, despite his always solid defense.
All in all, it was a big positive to get back to winning ways, but the concerns are too many to recount in detail. The Cats shot a scorching 56% from the field, but they continue to receive nothing beyond their top 6, and the fact that three freshmen accounted for two-thirds of the offense just doesn't give one a lot of optimism for how this team might fare in a tournament atmosphere.
Then again, in Kentucky's case, maybe the ignorance of youth is bliss.
