From a region full of senior point guards to a pair of Pac-12 vs. SEC showdowns in another, we take a quick look at the next round now that the Sweet 16 is set.

This season, Kentucky is headlining another tournament.

Dai-Jon Parker scored 12 points, and Vanderbilt beat Kentucky 64-48 Friday night in a game that put a serious dent in the Wildcats' hopes of at least having a chance to defend their national title.

Kelsey Bone had 18 points and 15 rebounds, with most of her production coming in the second half, and Texas A&M beat Kentucky 75-67 on Sunday night to win the Southeastern Conference tournament championship in its first year in the league.

When Texas A&M won the 2011 NCAA championship, Aggies like Kelsey Bone and Kristi Bellock were sitting out or on the bench. Sunday was their time to hoist a trophy.

Jennifer O'Neill sank 3-pointers on each end of a 15-0 run early in the second half that gave Kentucky the lead, and the Wildcats rolled past Georgia 60-38 on Saturday night to earn a spot in the SEC tournament championship game.

For the first time since 2003, the SEC tournament champ will come from someplace other than the state of Tennessee. Texas A&M and Kentucky meet for the title Sunday.

A'dia Mathies had 16 points and five steals and No. 7 Kentucky kept its lead in double figures the last 25 minutes of its 76-65 win over Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament on Friday night.

Following Mark Stoops' arrival, Kentucky closed strong in recruiting, netting two ESPN 300 prospects. Where do the Cats go from here?
