Alright guys well yesterday wasn't as bad as the day before as far as my NBA and NHL picks went as I went 6-3 in the NBA and 2-1 in the NHL. SEC Basketball has a game tonight with the newly ranked top team in the nation Kentucky Wildcats traveling to Columbia, SC to face the Gamecocks. Well alright guys as always please let me know what you think.

Players to Watch: Kent G John Wall 17.0ppg 6.9apg 2.1spg, Kent F Patrick Patterson 15.9ppg 7.8rpg 0.8bpg, Kent F DeMarcus Cousins 15.4ppg 9.5rpg 1.8bpg, SC G Devan Downey 21.9ppg 3.6apg 3.2spg
Preview: I love the Wall vs. Downey match up. And even though South Carolina is a tough team to play at home and is known for the troubles that top teams have faced when they've made the trip to Columbia but while I see this being a close game I do not see the Gamecocks being able to pull this off because they are really just a one man show. Despite Devan Downey having an All American type year they are in the bottom half of the league in Points/game (7th 74.8), FG % (11th 43.1), and 3pt % (7th 33.9). Not to mention Cousins and Patterson will probably not face much of a challenge down low. Kentucky wins a close one.
