Over the years, I have kissed a lot of things in my quest for a good story — Ireland’s Blarney Stone; my luck goodbye in Las Vegas and shipboard casinos; terra firma after returning wobbly-kneed from the Sydney Harbor Bridge climb.

With some hesitation, I voted for Georgia guard J.J. Frazier as the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year.The belief that a Player of the Year should play for the championship team compels a vote for Malik Monk. His spectacular scoring sprees sparked Kentucky’s first-place finish and made for must-see TV. But UK’s latest league title seemed the product of multiple options overcoming individual inconsistencies.Georgia did not finish among the top four in the regular-season race.
