No. 19 Kentucky had an easy Senior Day, rolling to victory 95-64 over LSU in the Wildcats' home finale. Kentucky (20-10, 9-8 in the SEC) is still trying to sort out its SEC Tournament seeding, but now will avoid a losing record in conference play in new coach Mark Pope's first season. LSU (14-16, 3-14 in the SEC) will likely miss out on postseason play entirely.
