It’s been a busy weekend with games on Friday and Saturday. Now that it’s Sunday, let’s not forget about the UK Hoops team that will take the court on Sunday. In years past, the Lady Cats played a season that went virtually unnoticed. Today, a new name and a new attitude has given UK Hoops an exciting style of play and a top ten pre-season ranking.
WOW! Think about it.. The women and the men are ranked in the pre-season top ten. I think I’m safe in saying that has NEVER happened before.

ukathletics.com gives us a look at what we can expect on Sunday…
[QUOTE=ukathletics.com]With the first regular-season game less than a week away, the No. 9/10 Kentucky women’s basketball team looks to iron out any kinks when it takes on Division II foe Kentucky Wesleyan Sunday, Nov. 7 in its lone exhibition game of the season. Game time is 2 p.m. EST in Memorial Coliseum and admission is free of charge.
This is the second time in school history the squads have met in exhibition play. UK defeated the Panthers 83-61 at Memorial Coliseum on Nov. 1, 2007.
“We are looking forward to playing on Sunday and seeing where we are as a team,” UK Hoops Coach [URL=”http://www.ukathletics.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/mitchell_matthew00.html”]Matthew Mitchell[/URL] said. “It’s been interesting with this team as the progression has not been as quick as I would have liked it to be. The freshmen have progressed at a slower pace but that’s probably understandable. It will be pretty basic what we will be trying to find out. Are they in the right plays and in the right positions? Is their intensity good? Those kinds of things will be very important because we don’t have that much installed.”
Seven returning veterans join six highly touted newcomers as Mitchell, who enters his fourth season at Kentucky, looks to lead his Wildcats to another banner season.
Three starters are back from a squad that finished 28-8 overall, 11-5 in the Southeastern Conference in 2009-10. On the heels of an NCAA Elite Eight appearance, the Cats were picked to finish second in the SEC by both the league coaches and the media, and are ranked in the top 10 in both national preseason polls.
