Kentucky WBB must keep finishing to keep NCAA Tournament hopes alive

Finally playing with its full roster, Kentucky Women’s Basketball is finding its groove.

It’s been an unexpectedly poor season for the Wildcats in 2021-22, as injuries, suspensions, and COVID-19 health and safety protocols have made continuity nearly impossible. After starting the season with a 6-1 record against non-conference foes with a mostly constant group, Kentucky has since gone 5-10, including a stretch that saw them drop eight out of nine games.

Dre’Una Edwards missed multiple contests due to suspension. Rhyne Howard, Robyn Benton, Nyah Leveretter, and Treasure Hunt have all dealt with injuries or illnesses. Stretches of four games over seven days have happened twice now.
