Give a round of applause to Western Illinois, which picked up only its ninth win of the season last night.

And a round of jeers for Mississippi, which continues to plummet in a relatively mediocre SEC. There's no shame in losing at Kentucky, but there is some shame in only being 4-4 in conference play. The home loss to Arkansas is just a killer.
