NCAA Basketball- Kentucky defeats Florida and wins its 44th SEC regular season title
by Stephen Lars on Mar.08, 2010, under Sports News
Every season, teams honor their senior players during the last home game of the season. The Kentucky Wildcats’ fans gratefully acknowledge their senior players this Sunday when they faced the Florida Gators. Yet sophomore Darius Miller came to steal the upperclassmen’ thunder. He came in with 14 points towards the end to hang on to a 74-66 victory for the Wildcats to secure a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Not only did the Wildcats play a great game. The team also finished the season with a perfect home record. The 18-0 at home record ties with the 1985-86 season for the best performance in the program´s history.
Kentucky holds a 14-2 in conference game record this season that has them ranked as No. 2 in the Nation. The Wildcat’s are the undisputed leaders of the Southern Conference Standing.
After Vanderbilt lost its game against South Carolina on Saturday night, the Wildcats needed only to win over the Gators to clinch their 44th SEC title.
The Gators lost to Kentucky, but there is no reason why Florida shouldn’t win some games in the SEC Tournament this next weekend. If they want to be part of this year´s March Madness, they better outshine their competition during the tournament in Nashville.
Kentucky has had a great season. The team holds a 29-2 overall straigh-up record, and its quite possible they are going to take one of the No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament Bracket. But Kentucky has also proved to be a strong team in terms of wagering odds. As of press time, the Wildcats are 16-13 against the spread (ATS) for the regular season.
Those are good numbers for a top ranked team. Yet they have not covered the spread in their last three games against Florida, Morehead State and Miami Ohio. Yet we are talking about -10 plus points deficit on each of these games. That’s a 55.2 % for Kentucky against the Odds. On the other hand, Tennessee is 23-7 Straight Up, and sits second in the SEC East conference, but has a 12-15 record ATS.
John Calipari has usually started three freshmen and one sophomore this season. Yet for this special occasion the team’s only seniors, Mark Krebs, Perry Stevenson and Ramon Harris, started and played the first five minutes. Also honored on Senior Day was usual starter Patterson, a junior who is expected to graduate a year earlier and enter the NBA draft.
