The three best teams in the conference plus one party-crasher gives us an interesting SEC semifinal doubleheader today.
Doogan, Mac, and Primm all went 4-for-4 in the quarters yesterday. Doogan and Primm are still perfect (a very impressive feat) in this conference so far. This conference has given them 220 points already and there are still 3 games to go. Wow.
#1 Kentucky vs. #4 Florida
This could be a really great matchup. The first two times these teams met were intriguing, but they really just showed us how incredibly good UK is. If they dismantle UF again today, then I might be convinced that they are as historically good as many think they are. But, judging by their uninspired performance yesterday against LSU, I’m not sure that Calipari was lying when he said they didn’t care about winning this tournament. Florida picked up a nice win over ‘Bama yesterday, and their shooters can really light it up.
RDoc is the only one that has Florida here, so a win here and he gains a free 85 points on the rest of the field. KA has already lost this game with Alabama. The other 18 have UK here, with 17 of them picking the ‘Cats to take this tournament.
#3 Vanderbilt vs. #7 Ole Miss
The Ole Miss Rebels may have punched their ticket to the Dance and ended any shot for Tennessee in one fell overtime swoop. Vandy pounded Georgia yesterday opening their way to a possible dream UK-Vandy final tomorrow, but we’ll see if that comes out.
17 people have Vandy winning this game, so Gersh, Gross, and Rikey (who had Miss St.) will be strong Rebel fans today, trying to zero out this one.
