Bat Cats Get Ready For SEC Tourney

[WildcatRick]

Four years ago, getting to the 40-win plateau would likely have been enough for the Kentucky baseball team.

Not anymore.

The Wildcats (41-15, 16-14 Southeastern Conference) head into this week's SEC tournament in Hoover, Ala., eager to prove they finally belong with the conference elite. Despite rolling up a 41-15 record during the regular season, the fourth-seeded Wildcats face fifth-seeded Alabama (32-24, 16-14) knowing there's plenty at stake.

A couple of wins could put the Wildcats in position to host a regional in the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament. A couple of quick losses would take some of the shine off their sterling regular season and make the road to the College World Series as long as one of star outfielder Collin Cowgill's home runs.

It's a challenge coach John Cohen doesn't shy away from, mostly because he knows it wouldn't help.

"The kids, they check the Internet, they know what's at stake," Cohen said. "There's no point in not talking about it. We feel we have a great opportunity to help ourselves."

Thanks for the link, WildcatRick.

Too, does anyone know if there is any television coverage on Direct TV? I had heard that it was going to be on Fox Sports South, but it's not listed on the guide, unfortunately. :icon_sad:

In Huntsville, Al all the games are being carried on cable by CSS network.

Thanks. I don't think that's going to help me with Direct TV, though. :icon_sad: Regardless, GO BAT CATS! :)

So having Insight isn't going to help me? Guess I'll be keeping up from here.

Thanks. I had kept coming upstairs to check if the broadcast had begun and decided to come here and check. That means they are already two hours behind. Goodness!

Too, it's now even more important that the Cats win tonight. If they were to lose, they would be playing again tomorrow at one in the early afternoon, following tonight's late game that will certainly go into the wee hours of tomorrow. GO BAT CATS!

why would a game that's not in extras yet be almost 2 hours behind ?

The first game is over. Miss won 4-1. The TV people say the UK-AL game will start about 10:45PM CDT.
