Don’t look now, but in a season that’s come with considerable peaks and valleys, the Kentucky Wildcats have now won nine of their last 10 games.
Not only was their 79-76 victory down in Baton Rouge an impressive resume addition, it also placed them firmly in the driver’s seat for a SEC regular-season championship.
As of right now, Kentucky sits at 21-5 on the season, 11-2 in conference play, and in sole first place of the SEC. But with just five games left to play, this race is far from over. There are several teams within striking distance as the season winds down.
