Kentucky To The NCAAs?

As crazy as that sounds, it's becoming more and more of a possibility, given the Wildcats' recent surge. Last night's 58-54 win over free-falling Mississippi has Kentucky up to 10-3 in the SEC, only a game behind Tennessee with a game upcoming against the Volunteers on Sunday. The Wildcats already beat the top-ranked Vols earlier this year, and a second win would give Kentucky a leg up on the SEC East title. Coach Billy Gillespie's first season in Lexington has been met with a tremendous amount of turmoil, but credit must be given to this team for responding from its rough start to even get a sniff of a conference title.
