After suffering a bit of a mid-season slump brought on by nagging injuries and offensive struggles, the University of Kentucky women’s basketball team appears to be well on its way to righting the ship.
The 19th-ranked Wildcats rediscovered their offense on Thursday in Alabama, using a three-point barrage to bury Auburn, 78-68, for their second straight win.
KeKe McKinney’s set the tone with a three-pointer off a Rhyne Howard assist for the first points of the game, but that was just a taste of things to come. Kentucky (19-5, 6-4 Southeastern Conference) hit its first eight three-pointers, several of them during a 14-0 second-quarter run that put the Cats ahead, 36-20.
