No idea what happens here. We are more than capable of winning this game but we are also more than capable of losing it as well.

The depth of this team has been a blessing overall and certainly saved us against A&M last week. Having a week off certainly came at a good time.

UK is very tough and Mitchell being a State grad will have his girls ready to play. Will not be easy but hopefully we can pull out a W.

The Wildcats have home court advantage but the Dawgs should be able to impose their will and secure a W.

This game scares me. Just do not have a good feeling about this one.
I have been pessimistic about several of our games all season and this one is no different. Howard like likely the best or second best individual player we’ve seen all season. We missed Carter and Davis and won but with Howard and being on the road we have our hands full. A different face has shown up for MSU almost every game they’ve pulled out. I would like to see two or or even three ladies have big games today and to have Danberry shut down Howard as much as one can.

Miss St likes to play inside, the guards like to attack the lane. If they did it against Boston & S Car they can do it against Kentucky who has no formidable force on the frontline. They had 79 points and only 3 (3)pointers out of that total and Boston only had 1 block. Going with State on this one.

State would have to drop the ball big time to lose this. This game realistically should not be close if they play their game but MSU at times has put themselves into some holes at times with inconsistent play.

I don't agree. Certainly the Dogs are the favorite, but UK on their home floor is rarely an easy out. I'll be very happy if State has a comfortable lead in the last 5 minutes. I don't really expect it.

Danberry providing very little leadership the last few games.

Then the freshmen are just jacking up shots.

Howard with a super confident 3 to end Q1. I cannot remember KY looking so good and MSU so bad.

I think we'll either lose this game or Arkansas. This team is just too young and inconsistent to win all the remaining SEC games.

MSU seems to have a lot of these games this year where they look a hot mess early on and then figure it out after halftime. Please tell me they'll figure it out.

Howard just putting her stamp on the game. So talented and playing with a cast on her hand to boot.

This. It is amazing how many of the commenters seem to ignore this. MSU is by no means a consistent top tier team.

My face after being dominated by the best player in the SEC for an entire quarter.

Carolyn Peck: "How is that not over and back?"

How does Carolyn Peck not know the over-and-back rule after all these years?

The Dawgs scored nine in the first and 23 in the second.
They're heading in the right direction.

Go Dawgs!!!

MSU did well to close the gap, dodging some bullets along the way as they left Howard open on the arc a couple times and she simply missed.

Kentucky seems to play better 1st halves than 2nd. MSU is just the opposite. I'm hoping this trend holds up here.

I like where your rooting interest is here!

Howard was unstoppable for about a 5 minute stretch there. Scored or assisted at least 14 strt points. Glad to be within 3. If Rickea finds here footing I feel pretty good about the 2nd half.
