The SEC is no powerhouse in basketball like it is in football, but for Kentucky to finish the regular season undefeated in the SEC and overall is pretty amazing! The SEC does not have powerhouses that you would find in the Big XII or the ACC, but they do have teams that can put a run in the SEC tournament and the big dance. Arkansas would be a lot of people's pick to give Kentucky the hardest time, but Mike Anderson's teams have always struggled against teams with dominant bigs. The two teams that would give Kentucky the best match-up would be Tennessee and LSU. Both have bigs that can pound with Kentucky as well as anyone in the country. It will be interesting to see how this weekend will turn out for the Cats.
Kentucky has been really impressive this year, and I don't think there is any doubt that they are going to clean up the SEC. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do in the big dance against good teams from other conferences. Do you think they have what it takes to go all the way?
ReplyDeleteI really thought that Kentucky was going to be able to pull off the impossible. They were so much bigger and more talented, at least it seemed, than the other teams this year.
