There was a lot of talk about weathering storms after Kentucky’s first-round NCAA Tournament victory on Friday night.
“We’re really good at weathering storms and that really helps us,” junior Leah Edmond explained afterward.
That analogy seemed especially fitting the next night, too, as a loud thunderstorm raged outside Memorial Coliseum while the Cats had to weather a few more of their own inside.
But ultimately they found a way to get through the difficulties and advance to the Sweet 16 for a second straight season with a three-set victory over Purdue on Saturday night, 25-20, 25-21, 25-14.
