No. 14 Kentucky womens basketball took down No. 11 Florida 72-57 in the first round of the SEC Tournament in Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

The Wildcats ended their regular season this past Sunday with an 83-63 loss to Tennessee to finish conference play 2-14 with a 10-18 overall record.

The loss to Tennessee marked Kentucky’s seventh consecutive loss while the team traveled to South Carolina in hopes of starting the SEC Tournament off on a better foot.

As the reigning SEC Tournament champions, the Cats may have took the court in Greenville with the lowest seed this year, but did so with the confidence of having taken the 81-75 victory over the Gators back in January.
