We only have three Saturdays left in the regular season. With a logjam behind Florida in the SEC standings, this one could be crucial as we look ahead to the SEC Tournament.
At 8-5, Kentucky is tied for fifth in the SEC standings behind Florida (11-2) and Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama (9-4). If you factor in tiebreakers, the Cats are eighth, which would have them playing the early game on Thursday at the SEC Tournament. That’s also where KenPom projects them to be at the end of the regular season after winning just one more game, at South Carolina.
