SEC Tournament

The Cats played a very strong tournament and it payed off. UK beat the University of Florida for the SEC championship. Allthough UK star, Terrance Jones, did not play as strongly as he normall does, the rest of the team picked up the slack. Each playeer who got on the court made a significant contribution toward the victory. Although UK beat Florida in the SEC tournament, Florida somehow managed to recieve a 2 seed in the NCAA tournament while UK recieved a mear 4 seed. The Cats play their first game of the tournament on Thursday and it should be an easy victory as long as we play to our abilities.

SEC Tournament Time

Calapari finally coached his team to a road victory over Tennessee. This is a very good step for the Cats as the SEC Tournament begins this week, and as a result of the win over Tennessee, UK receives a first round by. Hopefully Kentucky can pull it together in Georgia this weekend and bring home the hardware. I believe this is very possible so long as Brandon Knight and Terrance Jones can play well.

Home Team

UK has continued to play very well in Rupp Arena. I actually recieved the oppertunity to go to watch the Wildcats beat the Florida Gators on Saturday. I realized at that game why the Cats play so well on the road. The crowd in Rupp Arena is so intense and gives the team a burst of energy when they really need it. UK also beat Vandy last night on Josh Harellson's (UK's loan senior) Senior Night by two points. Josh played a great last game at Rupp.
