A quick look at the draw for Kentucky as the SEC Tournament kicks off today:
Kentucky has four more scheduled games left: in Tennessee, against Texas A&M, against Florida, and at Ole Miss. Even if the Cats can’t get a double bee, there is an opportunity to move into the bottom half of the bracket to avoid Alabama. .
As we look at things, here are the updated season stats. Mintz’s 18-point performance brought his season average to 10.3 points per game, meaning five wildcats are now achieving the double figures.
