Remember a while back when Pat suggested that the Vols were probably ranked too high?

Yah, right! Inside her head she must have been going, "Psych!"

Mechelle notes that, while Tennessee is busy ruining women's basketball (they just won their 15th consecutive regular season conference title), the Vols are not above letting some teams have a little hope:

Yes, Tennessee wrapped up the SEC title again, clinching the top seed in next week's conference tournament with an 81-65 victory over Kentucky on Thursday. The Orange Crush are once again the boss of the league, restoring order and all that. But …

Let's give a nod, also, to Kentucky. It's not easy being blue in Knoxville, facing a legendary program that has now won 15 regular-season titles.

Who on the outside was really expecting that the Wildcats would have so much on the inside this season? So much in the way of guts, heart and ambition? Pretty much no one was predicting any glory for the Wildcats. Kentucky was picked to finish next-to-last in the SEC. Instead, the Wildcats (11-4, 23-5) are going to finish next-to-first.
