In a key game in the SEC, not concerning the LSU Tigers, the Tennessee Vols beat the Kentucky Wildcats at Kentucky tonight... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/basketball/ncaa/02/07/bc.bkc.t25.tennessee.kentucky.ap/index.html It's key in various ways, which leave me happy and annoyed. First off, Tennessee perhaps ends up being our best "quality win", especially if they keep winning. They're now 8-1 in the SEC, the highest SEC RPI team and in a serious race with us for the SEC championship. So, the win helps us with the NCAA tourney looming. It also isn't too bad seeing ole Kentucky humbled for once.:grin: On the other hand, it kills me to see first year coach Pearl rack up another win, as his Tennessee vols upstart season continues to overshadow the accomplishments of a younger, just as unexpected, SEC leading Tigers who actually beat the Tennessee Vols. :angry: It just means that the pressure's still on for the Tigers and Brady. Perhaps a loss for the Wildcats is preferred also b/c a demoralized Kentucky coming to Baton Rouge is something we want... as opposed to a Tubby team who has it's confidence back.:geauxtige
