No. 14 Kentucky womens basketball became the lowest seed to advance to the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament on Thursday after beating No. 6 Alabama 71-58 inside Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

The Wildcats showed noticeable improvement since the last time they faced the Crimson Tide on Feb. 9 when Alabama left Memorial Coliseum with the 72-65 victory behind a 22-point performance from Alabama graduate student Brittany Davis.

It would be a different story for Davis this time around, scoring only nine points after going 4-16 from the field and rattling in only one of her five attempts from 3-point land.
