KEY GAME INFORMATION
MISSISSIPPI ST: Last season: 25-12, lost 75-60 to Penn State in the semifinals of the NIT.
Nickname: Bulldogs
Coach: Ben Howland
Conference: Southeastern
Who's gone: Guard Eli Wright (transfer), guard/forward Xavian Stapleton (transfer)
Who's back: The Bulldogs return a huge chunk of their production from last season, including their top six scores. Senior guard Quinndary Weatherspoon is back after leading the team with 14.4 points per game. Other guards include Nick Weatherspoon (10.8 ppg), Lamar Peters (9.6 ppg) and Tyson Carter (8.9 ppg). In the frontcourt, Aric Holman averaged 10.9 points and 6.7 rebounds last season while Abdul Ado averaged 7.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and nearly two blocks.
Who's new: The Bulldogs have a trio of freshmen who will likely get immediate playing time, including McDonald's All-American forward Reggie Perry, and guards D.J. Stewart and Robert Woodard.
The Skinny: Howland has built Mississippi State into an SEC contender over four seasons. The Bulldogs have a lot of talent, and if they can improve their outside shooting, should have a shot to win just about every game.
Expectations: The Bulldogs were picked fourth in the SEC preseason poll by the league's media and are widely expected to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009. Las Vegas has Mississippi State's odds of winning a national title at 120/1, which obviously isn't great, but it's a lot better than recent seasons.
KENTUCKY: Last season: 26-11, won the SEC Tournament title and reached NCAA Sweet 16.
Nickname: Wildcats.
Coach: John Calipari.
Conference: Southeastern.
Who's gone: Forward Kevin Knox and guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander became NBA lottery selections. Guard Hamidou Diallo and forward Jarred Vanderbilt were also drafted.
Who's back: Forward PJ Washington withdrew from the NBA Draft and is the top returning scorer and rebounder at 10.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game respectively. Six-foot-11 Nick Richards and guard Quade Green (9.3 points) returned for their sophomore seasons, giving the Wildcats some experience. Guard Jemarl Baker is healthy after redshirting last year with injury.
Who's new: 6-8 forward Reid Travis is a graduate transfer from Stanford who was a two-time All-Pacific 12 Conference first team selection. Kentucky's latest group of blue chip recruits include forward E.J. Montgomery and guards Ashton Hagans, Keldon Johnson, Immanuel Quickley and Tyler Herro.
The Skinny: The mix of returnees Washington, Green and Richards with another heralded freshman class led by Johnson and Montgomery recalls the deep and talented 2014-15 team that won its first 38 games. Calipari won't go there on the expectations, but he loves the depth of his 10th Wildcats squad.
Expectations: Oddsmakers have made the Wildcats the 11/2 second choice behind Duke (5-1) to win the national championship. They have the potential to surpass last year's tournament run and pursue that ninth NCAA title.
PREVIEW
No. 8 Kentucky's 'ridiculous' schedule continues vs. No. 22 Mississippi State
 

No. 8 Kentucky will be looking for its fifth straight conference win Tuesday night when the Wildcats host No. 22 Mississippi State.

Kentucky (14-3, 4-1 SEC) will be playing the second of three consecutive games against ranked competition.

The Wildcats are coming off an 82-80 win last weekend at then-No. 14 Auburn. This Saturday, Kentucky will host ninth-ranked Kansas as part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.

"This is the part of our schedule that is like ridiculous," Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "None of it is easy because you're going to play road games. But this part ... we've got every good team in this league twice. Every good team, we've got twice."

Kentucky raced out to a big lead Saturday and then held off a furious Auburn rally to win by two points in sold-out Auburn Arena.

"They were down by 17 and they never stopped," Calipari said.

"But guess what? Neither did we. In a game like this, it's fight. If you couldn't fight you couldn't be in there because the game is physical, a lot of hand-to-hand combat. It's how the game is played here. You've gotta play. Proud of them."

Mississippi State (14-3, 2-2) will arrive at Rupp Arena riding a two-game winning streak after starting league play 0-2. The Bulldogs defeated Florida 71-68 last Tuesday and then whipped Vanderbilt 71-55 on Saturday, jumping out to a 10-0 lead and never looking back.

"This league is ridiculous," Calipari said.

"Some of you remember me saying, 'Let's get to the point where we're getting eight, nine, 10 teams in the NCAA Tournament. Everybody laughed at me. 'We're a three-bid league,' and all that stuff. Now you look at this and say, 'Oh my God, we may get 10 teams in.'"

Kentucky has four players averaging in double figures scoring.

Keldon Johnson is tops at 14.9 points per game, followed by Tyler Herro (13.5), Reid Travis (13.0) and PJ Washington (11.8). Washington also leads UK in rebounding at 7.9 per game.

Kentucky is shooting 48.9 percent from the field -- third-best in the SEC -- including 34.9 from 3-point range. The Wildcats average 80.2 points.

Quinndary Witherspoon tops Mississippi State at 16.6 points per game. Next comes Lamar Peters at 13.3, Aric Holman at 12.4 and Nick Weatherspoon at 10.3. Holman tops the Bulldogs in rebounding at 8.1.

Mississippi State is making 48.0 percent of its shots from the field, including 38.1 percent from 3-point range. The Bulldogs average 79.0 points per game and have a plus-5.9 rebounding margin.

"The best thing statistically that we did is that they did not get an offensive rebound in the second half," Mississippi State coach Ben Howland said after the Vanderbilt game. "They had zero offensive rebounds, which means we did a better job blocking out and really going to the ball."

One key stat to watch is that Mississippi State has made 156 3-pointers this season, second-best in the SEC. Kentucky ranks 13th out of 14 teams with only 102 3-point baskets.

"This league is just so tough. It's a monster," Howland said. "Every game is so difficult."
