UK Hoops vs. Hampton Today at 6:30pm

Not to be shadowed by the men, UK Hoops play today in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. As most fans prepare themselves for the third round action of the men’s tournament, we’ve got to give the women their well deserved love too.

No. 17/16 Kentucky earned its eighth bid to the NCAA Tournament with a No. 4 seed in the Spokane Regional. The Wildcats (24-8) will square off with 13th-seeded Hampton (25-6) in the first round today at 6:30pm at University of New Mexico Arena in Albuquerque, N.M. The other first-round matchup at New Mexico features No. 5 seed North Carolina (26-8) and No. 12 seed Fresno State.

The Wildcats once again have compiled an outstanding resume which includes their second straight 20-win season, a school-record tying 11 wins in the always-tough Southeastern Conference and a second-place finish in the league standings for the second consecutive year.

GO BIG BLUE!
