“Every game in the SEC is a big game,” Kentucky head coach Ian Carry said. “Sunday’s game against Mississippi State is no different. We need to go and treat all eight games left like they are our last, like each game is a cup final. I’m looking forward to us getting back on the field. We had a good practice session today and the girls are very up for the game tomorrow. Everything went smoothly in practice and we are looking forward to the game tomorrow against Mississippi State.”
