๐Ÿ”ผ Run It. The womenโ€™s basketball team went on a 19-0 run to beat Mississippi 78-68 on Thursday night. The Cats forced nine turnovers in the fourth quarter and turned those into 10 points. Saniah Tyler tied her career high of 22 points and went 6-8 from behind the arc. Ajae Petty got her 15th double-double of the season with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

๐Ÿ”ผ Always on Top. The swim and dive team is still swimming away at the SEC Championships this week. The Cats set five top-10 times, 15 personal bests and seven new โ€œB-Cuts.โ€ Carson Hick set a top-10 program time twice in the 500 yard freestyle. He is the second fastest swimmer in the event in Kentucky history.

We like Numbers. The softball team is headed to the Palmetto State with a ranking beside its name! Four different organizations gave them rankings, and D1 Softballโ€™s is the highest.
