    LEXINGTON, Ky. — Just waking up here in Lexington after flying in last night from the Big Apple.

    Looking forward to three games in three days. I’ll see St. John’s-Kentucky tonight and Vandy-Louisville tomorrow, both part of the Big East/SEC Challenge.

    Then I’ll be at Rupp Saturday for the North Carolina-Kentucky game.

    Here’s the full schedule for the Big East/SEC:

    Thursday –            Providence at South Carolina (ESPNU)             7:00

    St. John’s at Kentucky (ESPN2)                           7:30

    Mississippi at DePaul (ESPNU)                            9:00

    Georgetown at Alabama (ESPN2)                      9:30

     

    Friday —                 Florida at Syracuse (ESPN)                                  7:00

    Cincinnati at Georgia (ESPNU)                            7:00

    Vanderbilt at Louisville (ESPN)                           9:00

    Auburn at Seton Hall (ESPNU)                            9:00

     

    Saturday —             Arkansas at Connecticut (ESPN)                        3:15

    Pittsburgh at Tennessee (ESPN)                        5:15

    LSU at Rutgers (ESPNU)                                       7:00

    West Virginia at Mississippi State (ESPNU)       9:00

    The three-day event will be full of ranked teams from this week’s Associated Press poll.  The Big Esat ranked teams are No. 4 Syracuse, No. 6 Louisville, No. 8 Connecticut and No. 17 Pittsburgh.  In the SEC, it’s No. 1 Kentucky, No. 10 Florida, No. 12 Alabama, No. 20 Vanderbilt, No. 21 Mississippi State.
