One Southeastern Conference team fell in the rankings, and two more rose after a wild week in college basketball that saw two SEC East heavyweights slug it out to the final bell Saturday afternoon. No. 3 Kentucky (27-2, 12-2) lost the bout after a knockout punch from No. 13 Tennessee senior guard J.P. Prince.Prince scored six of the Volunteers’ (21-7, 9-5) final nine points as he led his team in scoring to the 74-65 win. The Wildcats battled from 19 down to tie the game with just more than two minutes remaining, but did not score again in the contest, losing the game and their No. 2 ranking. “That was a mature win,” Prince said to ESPN.com. “We had a big lead, let them come back, but didn’t panic.”The other SEC team to have a ranking when the polls came out Monday was No. 19 Vanderbilt. The Commodores (22-6, 11-3) survived an overtime contest against Georgia and grabbed a double-digit win against Arkansas to jump three spots in the latest poll. It was Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings’ first career win at Arkansas’ Bud Walton Arena. “It’s going to be nice to not have to come over here and wonder if I’ll ever get a win,” he said to ESPN.com. “But if my teams had played like this before, we would’ve won here before.”CHAMPIONSHIPS, SEEDING ON THE LINESeveral teams have an opportunity to share their division’s titles with some good play in the final week of the SEC schedule and even more teams have the opportunity to improve their seeding for the SEC tournament in Nashville, Tenn., in less than two weeks. Mississippi State (21-8, 9-5) has already claimed a share of the SEC West title and has clinched its division’s No. 1 seed in the SEC tournament thanks to a 76-63 win against South Carolina.”These players deserve a lot of credit to be able to come in here and win this basketball game,” coach Rick Stansbury said in a news release. “Our guys played with great composure all night long. We did a great job of focusing on the moment and worrying about the things we were in charge of.”Both Arkansas and Ole Miss sit at 7-7 in conference play and threaten to claim a piece of the SEC West crown if they can win the rest of their scheduled games and Mississippi State drops both of its contests against Auburn and Tennessee.Kentucky can claim a share of the SEC East with a win or a Vanderbilt loss this week. If the conference tournament started today, Kentucky would be the No. 1 seed from the East, followed by Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia and then South Carolina.The top seed in the West would be Mississippi State. Arkansas would be No. 2 by virtue of winning the only head-to-head meeting thus far against No. 3 Ole Miss. Auburn, Alabama and LSU would be the last three seeds. VARNADO SETS NCAA CAREER BLOCKS RECORDMississippi State senior forward Jarvis Varnado set the NCAA record for career blocks last week. The 6-foot-9 phenom has blocked 537 shots in his career. “It’s amazing. It’s amazing where he started out at,” Stansbury told USA Today. “He would still get three or four blocks in those minutes. He gradually put on a little strength each year. Now here he is in his senior year breaking the record.”The previous record was set by former Louisiana-Monroe center Wojciech Mydra, who finished his career with 535 blocks.—————Contact Johanathan Brooks at [email protected]
