�Kentucky's loss in SEC final all motivation it needs - Andy Staples - SI.com

The Vandy game points out the value of having an experienced team.  On Sunday the freshmen showed up. Kentucky had the guns to pull the game out but just came apart a bit in the last 3 minutes.  Not to take anything away from Vandy, they played a whale of a game and were intense the entire game.  Kentucky faces some problems in its South Regional but not insurmountable ones.  One can never discount Duke (made for TV?) and I think the Shockers are a team to be watched.  UConn has experience with its run to the title last year.

If Kentucky can play with poise they should go the distance, however, Vandy exposed a tactic that could be used to negate Davis in the post and place more of an emphasis on perimeter shooting.  Packing that zone inside the arc was a stroke of genius on Kevin Stallings' part.

Inexperience is the only negative for this team.  We will need the steadiness of Miller, Lamb and Jones in this run.

It all starts NOW.
