Before Kentucky’s game at Mississippi State on Tuesday, UK freshman DeMarcus Cousins said he received crank calls and text messages from the state of Mississippi.
After the game, Mississippi State Coach Rick Stansbury said he got so many crank calls from the state of Kentucky that he disconnected his home and cell phones.
“They got my cell and home numbers,” Stansbury said on Thursday. “It started after 6 (p.m. on Wednesday). The first few, I didn’t pay much attention till it kept going on and going on and going on.
“I leeft and came back, checked my home (message recorder). Jeez, I finally took the batteries out of everything and unplugged all the lines.”
Kentucky won the game 81-75 in overtime. Afterward, Stansbury used humor to voice is displeasure with the officiating.
When asked to describe the calls, Stansbury said, “Lots of calls and just hang up. Some laughed. A couple talked.
“I got to where I wouldn’t answer anymore.”

There\’s an old saying Rick, “you reap what you sow…” MSU started this stupidity, Kentucky put an end to it, both on and off the court.
Enjoy the NIT Bulldogs.

It is just as wrong for our fans to do that as it is for other fans to call Cuz’s phone. At least he didn’t say we added to the problem by saying stupid things.
