  1. In Tuscaloosa, Alabama comes from behind to beat Arkansas 92-88 in overtime. The Tide finish 13-5. This means that if UK loses today, the Cats will be the number 5 seed and will have to play on Thursday. But if the Cats win, they will be the number 2 seed.

    1. Your annual reminder that no UK team has ever won the National Title without beating UT in Knoxville.

    2. Personally, if we have to go to Knoxville every year -- and apparently we do -- I'd rather end the season there.

    3. Also, we're on CBS, and I find games on CBS less painful than games on ESPN.

  9. In the First Region, Marshall Co. beats Tilghman 63 to 57. The First Region final will feature McCracken Co. (26-7) against Marshall Co. (24-7). First team to 40 will almost certainly win, and there will be fury at the officials no matter what happens.
