Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague could all be heading for the NBA draft, along with sophomores Doron Lamb and Terrence Jones. But while their departures are likely, their performance in the NCAA Tournament will certainly have an effect on what happens.

What They're Saying
Chip Towers covers Georgia sports for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and he tweeted some information that Georgia fans will love to hear.
"S.Carolina's 2-point loss to Miss. State in OT Wednesday assures that Gamecocks -- not #UGA -- will finish last in #SEC.
— AJC UGA (@ajcuga) March 1, 2012"
Georgia basketball has seen much better days than what has occurred this season, but the good news is that they won't be in dead last.
Of course, this doesn't mean that they need to stop trying, as spoiling the Wildcats' fun and avoiding early elimination in the SEC Tournament are still goals to strive for.
Jerry Tipton covers the Wildcats for Kentucky.com, and he tweeted a quote from head coach John Calipari about how hard his team has worked this season.
"Cal lauded UK consistency: 'How many bad practices we had? Maybe 1 or 2, and it's hard for me to remember."
— Jerry Tipton (@JerryTipton) February 29, 2012"
It's easy to see why Kentucky is dominating everyone in its path.
Calipari recruits extremely well, but he also does a phenomenal job preparing young kids for high-pressure situations.
Getting the job done in practice is key, as it makes the team much more ready for game day. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
Georgia Player to Watch
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is the best player the Bulldogs have this year, but the first time this standout freshman played against Kentucky, he was 3-of-11 from the field and scored only seven points.
There's no doubt he will be looking to bounce back strong against the top team in the nation, but the Wildcats will be ready for him.
Kentucky knows Caldwell-Pope is the man to stop, so he'll have to step up his game if he hopes to lead his team to an upset.
Kentucky Player to Watch
Senior Darius Miller scored 19 points off the bench to help Kentucky beat Georgia back in January, and the Wildcats' sixth man is sure to impress in his final college game at Rupp Arena.
Calipari called Miller the glue guy of the team, stating, "He does everything the team needs. He completes everybody. He's not competing, he's completing."
Miller averages 25 minutes and 9.9 points per game. Being that this is his final home game, he should start and play a good amount minutes, especially if the game ends up being a blowout.
Key Matchup
The matchup down low will be crucial for this game. Kentucky has the size advantage, but if Georgia is able to control the boards and work the inside, the Bulldogs can put up a good fight.
That, of course, will not be easy with Davis, Jones and Kidd-Gilchrist wreaking havoc in the paint.
Rebounding is key for Georgia, because if Kentucky owns them in that area, the Bulldogs will not stand a chance.
Prediction
Expect the Bulldogs to come out strong, as they have nothing to lose in this one.
Unfortunately for Georgia, Kentucky has too much talent not to create some separation on the scoreboard. The Wildcats will run away with the game in the second half.
Kentucky 77, Georgia 62
