UK women beat No. 1 South Carolina to win SEC Championship

Your Kentucky Wildcats women’s basketball team has won the 2022 SEC Championship!

They did so by taking down the No. 1 team in all of women’s basketball, as the Cats knocked off the South Carolina Gamecocks in Sunday’s title game.

It had already been a miracle run just to get to Sunday’s game, and the Wildcats were clearly worn down after playing their fourth game in four days.

But despite a rough first half offensively, the Wildcats rallied in the second half to take down the Gamecocks.

Kentucky entered the fourth quarter down 55-43 but would outscore South Carolina 21-7 in the final frame, which culminated with a Dre’una Edwards triple with five seconds, and the Wildcats held on for the 64-62 win!
