Mississippi State is in need of wins in order to close out a rough and rocky season on a high note. After an incredibly difficult start to the season, the Bulldogs have overcome a lot of circumstances that have been outside of their control.

And that brings MSU to Kentucky.
The Wildcats have won 6 of their last 10 games, including 3 of their last 5. But, Kentucky is fresh off of a series loss to the Tennessee Volunteers. Mississippi State has won 7 of its last 10 games and 3 of its last 5. But, the Bulldogs claimed their most recent series, beating Alabama twice.
