Kentucky basketball needed something good to happen. Early on, it didn't look like it was going to.
Jayden Quaintance was already out, Jaland Lowe left before the first TV timeout with his nagging shoulder injury, and Kentucky found itself down 16-6 to Mississippi State. The boo birds were heard in Rupp Arena. With "all the options" on the table, the Cats will take it day by day.
But those boo birds seemed to motivate the Cats, who rallied from down 10 to deliver their best performance against a Power 5 team all season, ultimately winning 92-68.
