Kentucky could have clinched the No. 3 seed in the SEC Tournament with a win over Vanderbilt. That did not happen, so now, it all comes down to Saturday’s regular-season finale at Arkansas.
With the 68-66 loss to the Commodores, Kentucky is now 20-10 on the season, 11-6 in SEC play. That puts them in a tie for third in the standings with Tennessee. The Cats own that tiebreaker, of course, but with one game left, several scenarios are still in play.
