Mississippi State is going through their worst slump of the year.

They have lost three in a row to teams they were supposed to beat. Overtime, by a bucket at home against Georgia, and on the road at LSU in overtime and at Auburn by 10.

This is the worst stretch for MSU in the SEC since the 2005-06 season when they dropped seven in a row.

Now 19-8, Mississippi State has dropped out of the Top 25.

When it comes to UK, the last six games have been split, with two of the last three going to overtime.

DeMarcus Cousins was abused by Mississippi State fans before playing at Humphrey Coliseum when they somehow got his cell phone and called him many names we can't repeat. Cousins had 19 points and 14 rebounds as UK won in overtime.

Then, in the SEC Tournament, Cousins last second bucket sent the game in overtime with the Cats winning.
