Despite the hopes of thousands of Tennessee fans in attendance, Kentucky Women Basketball’s Cinderella story isn’t over just yet.
On Saturday night, the No. 7 seed Wildcats (18-11, 8-8) pulled off an 83-74 upset over the No. 3 seed Tennessee Volunteers (23-8, 11-5) to advance to the SEC Tournament championship. The victory is Kentucky’s second shocking win in a row as the team defeated No. 6 LSU on Friday night.
Moreover, the win is UK’s second-straight revenge victory. Tennessee annihilated Kentucky 84-58 on Jan. 16 earlier this season. There was no sign of the blowout in the Wildcats’ stunning Saturday triumph.
