It’s a big night in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and across the entire Southeast.
Kentucky is poised to finally reach the summit of the college basketball world once more. The Southeastern Conference is set to continue its dominance in the three biggest men’s sports.
When UK steps on the floor against Kansas tonight, the Cats will be playing for their eighth national title all-time, second only to UCLA. Fittingly, the winningest program in basketball history will have to best the second-winningest team in history for the title. With a victory John Calipari will get a King Kong-sized monkey off his own back while allowing his employer to hang its first NCAA championship banner since 1998.
But Kentucky is also representing the SEC tonight in New Orleans. Since the calendar turned to January 2006, the league has dominated college football, college basketball and college baseball:

A Wildcat victory tonight would give the SEC 12 national titles out of a possible 21. No other league has more than two in that span in that seven-year span.
So while Kentucky will be trying to usher in a new golden age tonight, the SEC will be hoping to keep its golden age rolling right along.
