The Kentucky Wildcats are preparing for a huge matchup in Starkville as they look for a bounce-back win against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

In what will be a tough matchup, the injury report released on Friday includes a major question mark for Kentucky.

A new name has appeared in the report, as senior big man Andrew Carr is listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup. Kerr Kriisa remains out

Mississippi State reserve guard Kanye Clary remains out. He’s appeared in just seven games this season.

This is the second game this week where a name has popped up on the injury report that was unexpected. Koby Brea appeared on the injury report before Tuesday night’s game against the Georgia Bulldogs. He went on to play against the Bulldogs, though he shot 2/10 from the field and scored just six points after going for 23 vs. Florida.

Now, we will have to wait and see if the Carr will be available on Saturday night.
