re: South Carolina - 43 vs. Kentucky - 77 | FINAL | ESPN

Right I think the sec is improved don't get me wrong but simply presenting those stats skews things greatly. First of all, Kentucky hasn't played Arkansas, the 2nd best team. They played uga, the third best team, at home without uga's best player and still have to go to Athens.

Then they struggled mightily with ole miss, A&M, and LSU, the other 3 good teams. So that's where the story line comes from. It's warranted as the talking point for Kentuckys season. I'm with ya, winning those games is all that matters and Kentucky has gotten the job done. Undoubtedly the favorites at this point in the season, but it's an interesting story line, especially since none of those other 5 teams are particularly good. Tournament quality though, for sure.
