No less than an SEC title and a one-seed in the NCAA Tournament. And Kentucky now has the inside lane to that by virtue of getting past Vanderbilt in Friday's SEC tournament quarterfinals, on a day that began with Texas A&M upsetting Auburn.The No. 8 Aggies, very much on the bubble, move on to play No. 4 Arkansas in Saturday's first semifinal.

Mitchell Schwartz, the Pro Bowl tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, has been sidelined by injury since October and is likely out for Super Bowl LV, when the Chiefs aim to retain the title they won last season with a 31-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
