With most Southeastern Conference men’s basketball teams starting the second half of their league schedules this week, the race for MVP may be down to three. Kentucky freshman guard John Wall, South Carolina senior guard Devan Downey and Kentucky freshman forward DeMarcus Cousins already have taken turns as the primary candidate for the honor. Wall was the favorite as the Wildcats raced to a 19-0 start, but he was overshadowed by Downey on Jan. 26, when the Gamecocks pulled off a 68-62 upset in Columbia.
