SEC Champions

          Kentucky did it again, this time better than the last. Yesterday was the last game in many conference tournaments in college basketball. Kentucky was pitted against the Florida Gators and were the underdogs. We went off to a good start and were up early. Florida went on a run in the middle of the first half and took a small 3 poin lead. After that switching one point leads for a while Kentucky took over and controlled the entire second half as we won by 16 point.
          To make championship weekend better Saturday night Louisville lost to UConn (Connecticut) in a close game.
          Last night the brackets came out and there are some surprises and some very good first round games. The number one seeds are Duke (blah), Pittsburgh, Kansas, and the number one overall seed is Ohhio State. Kentucky got a 4 seed and will play 12th seeded Princeton, they are also in Ohio States bracket and could have a possible Sweet 16 match-up with the Buckeyes. They could also have a second round game against West Virginia. West Virginia beat UK in the tournament last year and it would feel nice to get revenge just like we did against some of our SEC rivals this weekend.

First Round Bye

          The Wildcats played yesterday on the road against Tennessee. I didn't know how it would go because we haven't been very good on the road this season but I was happy with the outcome. The first half went as expected and Tennessee was up by 7. But after the half Kentucky came out ready to play.
          Maybe it was the motivation that this game gave the cats that made the outcome different then ussual. The winner of this game got a first round bye in the SEC tournament. Which means that Kentucky will only have to play 3 games to win the tournament instead of 4. Lets hope we can keep our luck going because the thounament is not in Rupp.

Senior Night

          Last night the Kentucky Wildcats played their final home game of the season. It was senior night and everyone was cheering for our lone senior Josh Harrellson had a good night as did most of the cats.
          We were off to a good start and had some good leads. In the first half at one point we had a 15 point lead and in the second half we had a 13 point lead at one point. The end however was a nail biter but we pulled off the win by 2 points.

Kentucky, the best of times and the worst of times

          It's like there are two different Kentucky teams playing this season. The one that shows up and kills teams at home. Then theres the team that travels on the road and leaves their talent at home.
          Kentuchy is undefeated at home this season and haven't lost a home game in the South Carolina team. The only good in those raod losses is that they are atleast close games and not blowouts. We are always in the game we just can't ever finish it.

Labor Talks

          With the NFL season over it's time to focus on College basketball, and the offseason. It's been awhile since I've posted so I'm just going to tell you some of the things that have happened in my absence.
          In the NBA the Cleveland Cavaliers who lost LeBron James before the season started finally won a game. This ended a NBA record 25 game losing streak. THats not one of the records you would want.
          THe NFL has begun talks about the labor issues facing next season. Hopefully they can solve it before the season starts. I don't know if I can go without football next fall.
