Can the Wildcats capitalize, build NCAA Tournament momentum, and avoid another bubble setback?

Kentucky basketball looked good for most of their win over Mississippi State, but is the improvement sustainable, or was it just one game against a bad opponent?

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe recaps the Kentucky Wildcats' win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Otega Oweh and Malachi Moreno played excellently despite a very, very sluggish start from the team. Can Mark Pope build on this, or is this a one-off blowout over a bad SEC opponent?
