🔵 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Tourney Ready. The men’s tennis team takes on No. 4 TCU today in the NCAA Quarterfinals. Kentucky is one of four schools to make the national quarterfinals in the last three seasons. The men are on a 20-match win streak and went undefeated in conference play this season. This will be the fifth time the Cats and Frogs face each other in the NCAA Tournament all-time.

🔼 Hopes to Win. The baseball team plays its last regular season series starting tonight against Vanderbilt. The Cats are in a fight for the conference title. If they win the series, then it would guarantee at least a share of the league title. For an outright title, Kentucky would have to sweep the series or match the results of how Tennessee and Arkansas perform in their respective series.

🔼 Wrapped Up. Men’s golf graduate Alex Goff finished the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional. He scored a 71 in round three to make his overall score 221 (+5). Goff tied for 29th place, competing as an individual. He made 37 pars, tying for sixth-most in the field.
