🔼 Double-Honored. Women’s basketball player Tonie Morgan was named to two weekly honors. She was selected as the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Week and Co-Southeastern Conference Player of the Week. These mark her first weekly honor from either organization in her career. Morgan had back-to-back double-doubles, and she is the first player in program history to have consecutive games with at least 18 points and 12 assists.
🔼 Close Game. The men’s basketball team faced Missouri on Wednesday night. Otega Oweh was the only player in double-digit points for Kentucky with 20. The Cat shot 43.1% from the field but fell 73-68.
