Kentucky vs Mississippi State basketball preview: Which Cats show up?

Locked On Kentucky - Daily Podcast On Kentucky Wildcats Football & Basketball

Kentucky basketball has to really focus up before this game vs the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe previews the Kentucky Wildcats' matchup with Mississippi State basketball. The Wildcats are coming off of a huge win over the Alabama Crimson Tide, which MSU is coming into the game having won five-straight. Dawe dives into the matchup: State may be one of the best defenses John Calipari and Kentucky have faced all season long, but they should be able to make some things happen with Antonio Reeves, Rob Dillingham, Reed Sheppard and Justin Edwards.

The offense for State hasn't been good this season - but it's been playing much better over the last month, largely due in part to Tolu Smith and Josh Hubbard. How does Kentucky match up with Mississippi State? Can Kentucky handle their physicality and size? Or are the Cats going to sleepwalk like they did at LSU?
