Kentucky women’s basketball (4-6) was defeated by the Minnesota Golden Gophers (8-1) 76-57 inside Rupp Arena on Wednesday night.
The Cats were riding a two-game win streak heading into the contest while Minnesota was riding a four-game win streak of its own.
The Wildcats were short-handed for their battle with the Golden Gophers after being bitten by the injury bug, which caused them to play without Maddie Scherr, Cassidy Rowe, Amiya Jenkins and Nyah Leveretter. Kentucky was also battling without Zennia Thomas, who is suspended.
