Remember last year's game against the Mississippi St. Bulldogs in Starkville.?  The leak of DeMarcus Cousins' cell phone?  The "call me" sign flashed by Cousins during the game.  The downright nastiness of the MSU fans during the game?

I'll just bet you do.  We'll have more on tonights game a bit later.  Here are today's links:

  Always a great read. If you haven't been to BIAH in a while, be sure and look around while you're there.

  The most important college basketball story of Tuesday won’t have anything to do with games on the court.
  
  It’s all about a courtroom in Pasadena.

  This is definitely worth following.

  BRACKET WATCH -- 6 SEC TEAMS COULD MAKE THE FIELD: As it stands now, both ESPN's Joe Lunardi and CBS' Jerry Palm see 6 SEC teams making the NCAA tournament, which would be the most teams to represent the conference since 2008. Only 4 SEC teams went to the Big Dance last year.

  Grr.  The thought of the Florida Gators getting a higher seed than us chafes the crap out of me.  Anybody got some baby  powder?

  The Vols are going to become my proxy to vent on some of these teams that have helped make this such a difficult season for us. Vanderbilt, I'm looking at you.

  No matter what happens in Rupp Arena on Tuesday night, it's unlikely Kentucky and Mississippi State will match the intensity, drama and controversy that surrounded their two overtime games last season.

  Indeed.  I fear karma, but hopefully, that's been taken care of by now.

• Calipari pooh-poohs players-only meeting | University of Kentucky Sports News | Lexington Herald-Leader

  Less than a week after Kentucky Coach John Calipari said team meetings were "a waste of time," Kentucky's players called a — you guessed it — team meeting.

  Contra Calipari, at this point I'm willing to embrace sacrificing a chicken to Jobu.
