UK earns share of title

John Calipari waited until Wednesday morning’s shootaround to remind his Kentucky players they were playing for more than a national championship.

Sensing they needed a lift, Calipari said he told his players, “Stop. Do you understand what we’re playing for today?”

The answer was the Southeastern Conference championship. After the coach’s reminder, No. 3 Kentucky clinched at least a share of the regular-season title by beating Georgia 80-68 on Wednesday night.

Calipari said the Wildcats were “sharp” and “focused” on the immediate goal.

John Wall had 24 points and Patrick Patterson added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats, who scored the first 12 points of the second half and maintained control from there.

Kentucky (28-2, 13-2 SEC) bounced back from a loss at then-No. 19 Tennessee and moved one game ahead of Vanderbilt in the race for the league’s best record. The Wildcats, who swept Vanderbilt, already own the tiebreaker and the top seed in the SEC tournament.

Before the shooting practice, all of Kentucky’s focus had been on winning a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Calipari said there had been no mention of the conference race.

“We never talked about it before the morning shootaround,” said Calipari, who joined Tubby Smith and Eddie Sutton as the only Kentucky coaches to win SEC titles in their first seasons.

Kentucky, which won a share of its 44th SEC title, snapped a streak of four straight home wins for Georgia (13-15, 5-10).

Wall hit three 3-pointers to help the Wildcats shake their recent shooting slump. The star freshman added six assists and three steals.
