For UK to Win SEC East

[UKWildcats#8]

So let me see if I got this right.

If UK and FL both win today, FL up 1 game. UK must win 2/3 and would tie FL but UK would have won the season series and own tie breaker. If UK and FL both lose today, same scenario.

If UK wins and FL loses, they are tied. Winner of series wins division by 1 game (assuming no sweep by either team)

If UK loses and FL wins, UK has to sweep FL to win the division.

So pretty much almost every scenario for UK winning the division requires UK to win 3/4 down the stretch.

I think you've got it. However, in baseball they don't really split the divisions. It's just top four teams. So, Florida and LSU are tied with most wins, with Florida half a cane ahead. Kentucky and Miss State are one win behind. These four teams play one another next weekend. We need Miss State to lose today, we need to win today. We then need Miss State to bear LSU in two games and we need to win two of three from Florida. That, I believe, would give us the conference outright. Florida losing today would also be nice.

So UK needs 2/3 in either of these scenarios.

I really just hope we make top 4 overall & avoid the preliminary round that a) could get us KOed b4 the true tourney starts & b) saves us pitching. Taking 2/3 at FL of course does that. 1/3 and we're on the ropes. 0/3 & likely not.

Sounds good. It will be interesting.

A little tidbit that I didn't know. UK has not lost a series against Florida since 2012.

Yea, would have been nice had they at least taken the Friday game. They had that game until like the 8th inning. Still, it is kind of good that at least they put Auburn to bed and knocked them out of the race.
