Kentucky has had issues with Friday nightcap at SEC Tournament
(Photo courtesy of Andy Lyons/Getty Images)After finishing the season 25-6 (14-4), most years that would win Kentucky a regular-season SEC title. Unfortunately, that is not the case in 2022.
Thanks to the conference having four top-15 teams to go along with two other top-25 caliber clubs, the SEC was a survival of the fittest this season. Due to some unbalanced schedules, Kentucky received the short end of the stick on tiebreakers and will have to begin the SEC Tournament in the nightcap as the No. 3 seed this weekend in Tampa.
The Wildcats have not had to play in this time slot much in recent years. However, the results have not been pretty when the late Friday game has arrived in the past.
