Clara Strack's historic SEC Tournament second-round performance against No. 22 Georgia highlights No. 17 Kentucky's potential

This was Strack's third consecutive game with at least 20 points, which marks the first time she has accomplished that in her career. Strack has simply been a force on both ends of the floor with 14 double-doubles this season and team-highs in points (16.7 PPG), rebounds (10.3 RPG), steals (1.2 SPG) and blocks (2.6 BPG).

Despite trailing 36-35 at the break, Kentucky outscored Georgia, 41-25, in the second half to avenge a Jan. 24 loss to the Bulldogs in a game that was rescheduled due to Winter Storm Fern.

The Wildcats shot 50% as a team (28-of-56), won the rebounding advantage, 35-26, and only committed eight turnovers, which is a huge improvement for a team that has struggled taking care of the ball this season.

One game after Strack (20 points, 13 rebounds), senior guard Tonie Morgan (14 points, 10 assists) and senior guard Jordan Obi (14 points, 10 rebounds) each posted double-doubles against Arkansas, more balanced production was on the way Thursday with senior forward Teonni Key (14 points, 12 rebounds) and Morgan (14 points, seven assists) contributing to Strack's heroics.

Kentucky (23-9, 8-8 SEC) was projected to be a five-seed in Charlie Creme's latest bracketology for ESPN, but a four-seed is likely not out of the question if it has a great rest of the week in the SEC Tournament.

The Wildcats started the season 15-1 before going 8-8 in their last 16 games. Regardless of how the SEC Tournament plays out, this Kentucky team has a lot of potential and is the last team most programs will want to face in the NCAA Tournament, especially if Strack is able to take over a game and leave her mark on both ends of the floor.
