UK Basketball

Vanderbilt defeated No. 1 Kentucky, 71-64 Sunday to claim the SEC tournament championship. The loss ended UK's 24 game winning streak. Kentucky (32-2) didn’t score a field goal over the final 8:04 and shot just 35.9 percent from the field (23 of 64). Kentucky coach John Calipari said the loss didn’t dampen his enthusiasm for this team, but it did serve as a wake-up call. Senior Darius Miller scored 16 points in a surprise start for Kentucky while Terrence Jones and Anthony Davis both added 12. Davis had 10 rebounds and three blocked shots, but he got into some rare early foul trouble that limited his effectiveness. Next up for UK is the NCAA tournament, which is set to begin this week.
