🔼 Go-To Guy. The men’s basketball team took down Mississippi State 90-77 with the help of 27 points from Antonio Reeves. This was Reeves’ eighth game this season scoring at least 20 points. The Cats are now 13-3 overall and 3-1 in conference play. The victory is also head coach John Calipari’s 400th win at Kentucky.

🏀 Here’s more info about the win.

🔼 Triple Threat. We have an athlete who just won his first collegiate Co-SEC Swimmer of the Week honor. After snagging first place in three individual events, Ryan Merani caught the eyes of the conference. Merani saw victory in the 200 IM, 400 IM and 200 butterfly and scored a meet-high 27 points.
