At long last, Kentucky got it done against SEC competition — third time’s the charm. Taking on Mississippi State in a late-night weekend battle in Lexington, the Wildcats got off to a horrific start, trailing by 12 points with 14:30 to go in the first half, leading to the boo birds coming out once again. That was shortly after Jaland Lowe went down with yet another right shoulder injury, one that kept him out the rest of the game. Vibes couldn’t be worse inside Rupp Arena as it appeared this group was headed toward a 0-3 start to begin conference play.
