South Carolina (14-12, 5-7 SEC) vs. (2) Kentucky (26-1, 11-1 SEC) Location: Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY Time: Tonight, 9:00 p.m. ET Television: ESPN 2 Line: Kentucky -16 The Wildcats will be seeking revenge tonight after South Carolina defeated then No. 1 Kentucky 68-62 on January 26. Revenge will not be Kentucky's only motive, however, as the Cats are also working towards a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Gamecocks enter tonight's game having lost 4 of their last 5 games. South Carolina will be led by All-SEC candidate Devan Downey as he hopes to shoot the Gamecocks to another major upset. Kentucky, on the other hand, has reeled off 7 consecutive wins following the USC game, including two critical road wins last week at Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. Stat Leaders (via ESPN.com): untitled Current SEC East Standings: Kentucky 11-1 Vanderbilt 9-3 Florida 9-4 Tennessee 8-5 South Carolina 5-7 Georgia 4-8 Let's go Cats! Time to beat those Cocks! My Prediction: I'll take the Cats by 12
