Each week, I'll pose a Question of the Week for you the reader to chew on and digest..

 

This Week's Question: Will Kentucky Make the NCAA Tournament?

 

Billy Gillispie (Kentucky)

Tubby Smith (Minnesota)

Meeks broke a bunch of UK records in his 46 point outburst this weekend.. some notes from UK Media Relations:

- Meeks recorded career highs in points (46), field goals (14), three-point field goals (9), three-point field goals attempted (14) and tied a season high in steals (4) leading Kentucky to a 93-69 win over Appalachian State in Louisville

- Meeks' 46 points were the most ever scored by a Wildcat in Freedom Hall, which spans 73 games and over 30 years and the sixth most scored in a game by a Wildcat

I'll admit it - I'm biased toward the SEC. I grew up rooting for Florida, thanks to my Dad, who is a Gator alum. I myself went to UK, and I have friends who attended Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama, Vanderbilt and South Carolina. It's been embedded into me my entire life that the SEC is simply the greatest conference in the country, and no one else measures up.

That's why it's so painful for me to admit that maybe, just maybe, if I take a step back and look objectively, if I just allow myself to say it, if I want to be truthful....

Traditional rivals will battle on ABC television Saturday when Indiana (5-4) travels to Lexington to take on Kentucky (6-3) at Rupp Arena. The heavily favored Wildcats will look for redemption following last years 70-51 loss to Indiana in Bloomington. This year's Hoosiers are clearly a bottom Big Ten team, and all six players that scored against Kentucky in last years game are gone. The young Indiana team will likely struggle against Kentucky's aggressive man-to-man defense and the Wildcats should claw this Hoosiers team apart and win by similar margin themselves on Saturday.

Finally, a weekend where college hoops won't have to share the spotlight with college football...outside of the Heisman ceremony Saturday night anyways. Football is still on everyone's minds, but in between your BCS bashing (I hear you Texas fans) this weekend, here's a few hoops games that deserve your attention.

 

Saturday, Dec. 13

12 p.m. ESPN #8 Tennessee at Temple

These Cats have potential...but need to put it together
