On Thursday, Kentucky Women’s Basketball is playing for more than just another mark in the win column. The No. 14 Wildcats (6-1) will take on the DePaul Blue Demons (7-2) at 7 p.m. in Rupp Arena. Playing in a different setting isn’t the only unusual thing about Thursday evening’s contest.
For the first time since his retirement, Matthew Mitchell will be properly honored by fans and players, alike. As head coach of the ‘Cats for 13 years, Mitchell won 303 games, making him the winningest Kentucky Women’s Basketball coach of all time. Many former players are expected to be in the building to celebrate the special night.
