Kentucky last SEC hope for championship

And then there was one.

Kentucky remains the last SEC team in postseason college basketball. Auburn and Florida each lost Tuesday in their bids to reach the final four of the NIT, leaving the Wildcats as the only remaining team from the Southeastern Conference in either the NIT or NCAA tournaments. 

Kentucky plays at Notre Dame at 6 p.m., tonight on ESPN in a regional final that sends the winner to Madison Square Garden in New York for a semifinal game Tuesday against Penn State, which beat Florida 71-62 in action Tuesday. 

In the last remaining regional final, St. Mary's plays at San Diego State at 8 p.m., tonight. The winner will face Davidson, which beat Auburn 74-72 Tuesday.
