The Cats stay on the road with a trip down to Columbia to take on the South Carolina Gamecocks. The game is on ESPN at 7:00pm. Go Cats!!

Cats 78

Gamecocks 65

Kentucky by a lot.   Frank Martin's Final Four good grace has run its course.   I have a feeling he's done at SC after the SEC Tourney.

Kentucky 75-67.

Seems like a road trip Kentucky has struggled with over the years. I hope Kentucky can win comfortably - for as good as the weekend games have been recently, the midweek games against Mississippi State and Vanderbilt have been slogs. This team still has a chance at a one-seed and can easily get a two-seed, but there can’t be any bad losses. 

Kentucky 80

South Carolina 72

Today's fun fact about this Kentucky team:

Of course the Cats should win, but it is the road in the SEC. Who would have thought that Georgia would take Auburn down to the wire.
