?Charles Hurt was the hero in Kentucky's 59-53 overtime victory against Mississippi State in Starkville. Kentucky was trailing 47-45 with live seconds left on the clock and State was inbounding the ball.

Hurt picked it up and laid it in as the buzzer sounded to force the game into overtime. Kentucky dominated in the extra period to win the game. Jim Master led the 'Cats with 14 points and Melvin Turpin grabbed a team-high eight rebounds. The win made UK 11-2 overall and 3-1 in the SEC.

Ole Miss also hit well, sinking 20 of 34 shots. Sam Bowie led Kentucky with 18 points and eight rebounds while Derrick Hord added 14 points.
