Rebounding the only reason we lost this game. Got absolutely destroyed on the offensive glass. Destroyed.

What's more it was an obvious walk. That was just sheer Kentucky protection.
There’s your “no call.”
Lost because of being out rebounded the whole game.
Jan's should've done a better job of coaching the officials on how to their blow whistle. That was right in front of everyone and that was a terrible no call but we lost the game way before then, by allowing so many offensive rebounds.
Moore a clean look from three to tie and the ball slips out of his hands. The Mississippi State way.
We got beat 38-22 on the glass. Kentucky had 18 offensive rebounds to our seven.
18 second chance points by Kentucky. That’s the difference. Got dominated on the glass.
I remember one back when I was a student. It was either at the end of the game or in OT. Melvin Turpin got the ball at half court and dribbled once and made a layup to either win or send it to OT. We lost the game. I to this day have never seen one that bad.
Thank you DJ for your 3 points. And your missed free throw on the one and one.
But how does your “veteran crew” Miss that walk when everybody else saw it?
Yes. But had that walk been called we might have won anyway.
Hard as this team plays going to be a damn shame if they don’t make the tournament
We lost the game because a good team played a little better than we did. It happens. We needed it, but so did they and they got it.
The stretch of no offense for 10 minutes of the 2nd Half was where we lost it.
But the season is not over yet. Calipari evidently sold his soul to always beat Mississippi State, even though I kind of doubt it.
Or hang on to some rebounds. There were several rebounds that slipped away and Kentucky took advantage.
When you get whipped on the glass this bad, you’re not beating anybody. Just total abuse
He would have been fired tonight if he lost 3 in a row, especially with loss #3 being State.

That was in the early 80s. It could have been. It was the worst no call I have ever seen.
Who’s the dumb azz AD that moved the student section away from behind the opponent’s 2nd half goal? Kentucky was shooting clutch FTs at the end of the game with nothing in their face. That crap needs to fixed fast.
We were throwing the ball in and he basically ran over our guy receiving the pass, grabbed the ball and drove for a lay in that I think sent it to OT.
ETA...
Here's the box from the game I'm remembering. Notice UK was 19-19 from the stripe. They always find ways to whip our azz in Bball...

I think kalpatrick wells was somehow involved in that play.
Whether he was or not, it's just good to see that 17'n all time Bulldog name here on SPS.
I’m pretty sure that’s the game they whistled Malone for 4 1st half fouls.

Holding the guy you’re guarding to, 1-13 from the field & 0-8 from 3, has to count for something.
He does everything at a high level other than putting the ball in the basket. We will miss him next year.
It counts for don't shoot so damn much. Don't be an offensive liability that other teammates have to make up and recover from.
But yes thank you for killer D.
This is where you need a teammate other than just the coach to say "what the actual 17 stop shooting turd balls".

As I told my son, you can’t go 6-7 minutes without a field goal and expect to win against decent teams. Sooner or later that will cost you.
In addition to lockdown D, 5 boards, 4 assists, and ZERO turnovers. Anyone that can’t appreciate his value just doesn’t understand college basketball. Jans has turned him into a serviceable contributor. Lazy azz Howland didn’t coach him up to his strengths. Howland stole 7 mill from this university.
