Youth is not something that you would probably want in a big game, but Kentucky is abound with it. John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe are all freshmen, but all scored in double figures in the SEC Championship game against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Wall scored 7 of his 17 total points in the overtime period, Bledsoe dropped 18 on 58% shooting, and Cousins scored 10 points and pulled down 10 rebounds including the shot that sent the game into overtime. On the Mississippi State side, the Bulldogs will remain on the NCAA tourney bubble with the loss and will have to wait to see if they earn a bid in the tournament. Ravern Johnson scored 20 points and stud post player Jarvis Varnardo scored 18 points, pulled down 9 rebounds and blocked 5 shots. With the win, the Wildcats know what seed they will be come tourney time, a number 1, as they now sit at 32-2 and have won both the SEC regular season and conferance titles. The future of the Bulldogs remains uncertain, but with the performance they turned in this week, i think that the committee can find a spot for them in March.
