COLUMN: What went wrong for Kentucky womens basketball?

Kentucky womens basketball concluded its postseason play last weekend as the team lost in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals to Tennessee 80-71 in Greenville, South Carolina.

After finishing the regular season 10-18, it was evident that Kentucky’s record was not going to pave the way to the NCAA Tournament on its own and that its only hope to go dancing relied on taking home the win in Greenville.

While the Wildcats were unable to repeat history as the reigning SEC Tournament champions, becoming the first No. 14 seed to advance to the quarterfinals in SEC history was an achievement in its own right, though not quite one that would get the team into the tournament.
