SEC tournament

The SEC basketball race was all about Kentucky this was. The Wildcats rolled to a 16-0 conference record, only missed a perfect regular season by a single point, when they lost on a buzzer-beating trey at Indiana, and have locked up a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. With a solid six-man rotation that’s anchored by Anthony Davis in the middle, then filled in with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as a forward who can run the floor, Terrence Jones who hits the boards, Doron Lamb who hits the trey and Marquis Teague who runs the show, head coach John Calipari has the horses to get his elusive first national championship. Beyond the Big Blue, TheSportsNotebook takes a look at the rest of the SEC, hands out some individaul awards and looks ahead to a conference tournament that starts tonight in New Orleans.
