Objective
Sunday, the 'Cats look to take back The SEC Tournament Title.
My, my. Just how long has it been?
Kentucky has not won the tournament title since back-to-back wins in 2003 and 2004. Kentucky has 26 Conference Tournament Championships which ranks #1 in the NCAA. After a 6 year absence, it's hard to deny the importance of this tournament.
Wait, the Circus is going to be in Nashville, too.
The Wildcats could possibly meet Devan "One-man-circus-show" Downey for a third time this season, in their first tournament game on Friday. Should they get past Anthony Grant's Crimson Tide..
Downey ended the hopes of an undefeated season for the 'Cats and also recorded South Carolina's first win over a #1 ranked opponent. Downey's Gamecocks blitzed back to put Vanderbilt away (on their home floor) in their last outing of the regular season.
What do our friends at KenPom anticipate?KenPom.com predicts a loss for the Gamecocks with a score of 68-66.
It's now officially the post-season, every team is hungry. If you think we took everyone's best shot in the regular season, you may change your mind about it come Sunday.
So, you probably won't even face South Carolina..
Should KenPom's prediction rule the day; Cat fans will silently gasp a sigh of relief.
While the #2 in red has made quite an impression on Big Blue Nation. He may not be the same equivalent as Christian Laettner who is certainly not a favorite in Wildcat Country.
The difference is, Downey is respected.
