What to Know

After two games on the road, the #12 Kentucky Wildcats are heading back home. UK and the Mississippi State Bulldogs will face off in an SEC battle at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Wildcats winning the first 78-73 and MSU taking the second 74-73.

UK came up short against the Auburn Tigers this past Saturday, falling 80-71. A silver lining for UK was the play of forward Oscar Tshiebwe, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 14 boards in addition to four blocks.

Meanwhile, MSU didn’t have too much trouble with the Ole Miss Rebels at home this past Saturday as they won 78-60. It was another big night for the Bulldogs’ guard Iverson Molinar, who had 20 points.

The Wildcats are the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. There could be an interesting gambling play in this one, as they have done quite well against the spread at home this season while MSU have struggled against the spread on the road.

UK is now 15-4 while MSU sits at 13-5. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: UK comes into the contest boasting the sixth highest field goal percentage in college basketball at 49.80%. The Bulldogs are not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they enter the game with a 48% field goal percentage, good for 24th best in college basketball. This one is shaping up to be an exciting offensive shootout.
