Kentucky keeps learning valuable lessons. First they took a tough first half in Starksville, but battled back to earn a hard fought road win. Then they were able to flex their muscle at home against a pesky Vandy team. The Cats look to finish the regular season with a cupcake senior night game against Georgia and final road test against Florida. This week Kentucky is 1st in the AP and the Coaches Poll. Florida is 16th and 13th while Vanderbilt is 31st and 30th, respectively. Last weeks numbers are in parentheses.

Georgia 108 (116) 113 (125) 14-16 5-11
South Carolina 186 (182) 160 (157) 10-20 2-14
The big mover this week is Mississippi St. who has lost five in a row and slipped 20 spots in the RPI. They need to win both of their remaining games against South Carolina and Arkansas to stay on the right side of the bubble. Tennessee and LSU tangle on Wednesday and sort of provide a bubble knockout game. If either team can win their last two games a make a run in the tournament they could play themselves right into the big dance.
Locks: Kentucky, Florida, Vanderbilt, Alabama
Bubble: Mississippi St., LSU, Tennessee
