Kentucky dug itself a hole with their late-season swoon. Even picking up one of the three games it lost to Mississippi St. last weekend would have put UK in a top seed, but now they have to settle for the fourth seed and a fairly tough path to the SEC Tournament championship. If the 'Cats get past Ole Miss, they could face tournament #1 seed LSU in their second game on Thursday -- at least I think I got that right. The bracket, in any case, is here.
