Kentucky womens basketball puts defensive improvement on full display against UNCG

Kentucky womens basketball took the court inside Memorial Coliseum for the first time in 17 days to take on UNC Greensboro on Sunday.

In between home games, the Wildcats traveled to the Bahamas for the Baha Mar Bahamas Hoops event in which they faced off against their first ranked opponent of the season in the form of Virginia Tech.

Since that last home game against Bellarmine on Nov. 17, now having a ranked matchup under its belt, Kentucky fans were treated to a more aggressive and energetic team taking the court.

A common talking point for Kentucky head coach Kyra Elzy, and even a handful of players, all season has been about the team’s dissatisfaction with its defensive performances.
