... in 1998, your #7 University of Kentucky Wildcats absolutely destroyed #15 South Carolina, 86-56, to take their sixth SEC Tournament Championship in seven years, and their 21st overall SEC Tournament Championship. The most impressive part of the beating was that Kentucky didn't have the services of Jeff Sheppard due to an ankle injury, and Nazr Mohammed was less than 100% with a separated shoulder. Only three Cats got into double figures and twelve players saw court time as Tubby's squad built a ten point lead by halftime. Wayne Turner picked up the slack (with Sheppard out) and finished the contest with 18 points, including two 3-pointers, and four assists. Allen Edwards added 15 points and five assists, and super-sub Heshimu Evans had 11 points - 6 rebounds - 3 assists for the winners. And to add salt to the gaping South Carolina wound, Myron Anthony finished 3-3 from the field for 7 points and the human victory cigar Steve Masiello's three minutes of action saw him make a 3 and have an And-1. There ya go South Carolina, Steve Masiello balled on you.
