ReplyDeleteThe Sixth, Seventh, and Eleventh Regions all start tonight, with the District Champions playing at home. Lex. Frederick Douglass, ranked number 3 in the Commonwealth on Ken Pom, is the only great power playing a road game -- they will be at Madison Central.
ReplyDeleteOne cool rivalry game tonight: (10) Lou. Manual (25-5) is hosting Lou. Male (17-11).
ReplyDelete6th Region: PRP 61, N. Bullitt 47 (Final)

ReplyDeleteFor the first time all year, the UK fans have an easy time of it in SEC play. The Cats roll over LSU 95 to 63 on Senior Night, and run their record to 20-10 on the year.
ReplyDeleteKen Pom had this as a 14-point win for UK, and the Cats won by 32, so that's pretty good. Cats now 9-8 in the SEC with one game left (at Mizzou).
ReplyDeleteOn the strength of this big margin of victory, the Cats have vaulted to 14 on Ken Pom. That's the highest they've been on the Big Board since they lost to Ohio State back on December 21. KP still thinks they will lose at Mizzou, who he has ranked number 12.
