STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State failed to extend the win streak Sunday after- noon, falling to 23-rd ranked Kentucky 69-59 in a Southeastern Conference women’s basketball game played in the Humphrey Coliseum. The Lady Bulldogs were attempting a third straight win over a ranked opponent. However, MSU struggled from the fi eld and failed to convert some late chances to steal the victory. It also turned out to be a missed opportunity for advancement in the league standings as Florida won at Ole Miss. M-State fell to 14-8 overall and 5-4 in league play, unable to extend a modest two- game win streak after wins over No. 21 Vanderbilt and No. 9 Georgia.

MSU responded with a 12-5 run, capped by a putback from Chanel Mokango and a 3-point basket from Mary Kathryn Govero. That trey gave the Lady Bulldogs their last lead, at 39-38 with 14:05 remaining. From there, Kentucky scored the game’s next six points and did not trail again. De- spite its offensive struggles, MSU did hang tight. The Lady Bulldogs closed within 50-49 and 52-51 but could not get over the hump. After a layup by Mokango, closed the defi cit to 56-53 with 3:53 remaining, UK put the game on ice with a 3-point bas- ket from A’dia Mathies on the other end as the shot clock expired. For the contest, the Lady Bulldogs hit 24 of 72 shots from the fi eld (33.3 percent), 6 of 22 shots from 3-point range (27.3 percent) and 5 of 11 shots from the foul line (45.5 percent).
