I'm sure Alyssa Cavanaugh would have been so happy to see the Tops in the Sweet 16. Rest in peace, Alyssa. We will miss you!

WKU hasn't lost to an opponent outside the state of Kentucky since 2018!

I'll have to admit, Kentucky looks good. But this was not a particularly good performance by WKU. It will be interesting as Kentucky moves up through the ranks. Purdue will be harder, but i think they can manage them, especially if the boilers have troubles passing like they did today. Nebraska and Texas I'm not so sure about. Very different teams there. Very different challenges. It will be interesting.

Watched this match from my bed after too many Sunday White Claws. GO CATS! Hot damn, UK looked good.
For all of the talk about how worrisome Leah Edmond's departure would be (and no disrespect to our AU queen), I think this team is a level above the Edmond teams. A. Skinner matches Edmond's termination from the left, M. Skinner is blossoming on the right-side both offensively and defensively, Tealer (nothing further needed), and Goetz!!! Goetz has had a really underrated freshman year, and her height gives us a nice blocking boost (which we've always desperately needed). I love that Lilley went to her on the slide for the first point in the game.

If UK can get past Purdue, which I think they will, I can almost guarantee they will roll over Pitt/Washington and play for a national championship. Strangely, I think Pitt might put up the best fight against Kentucky of those 3. We'll see. And to think that Pitt beat Duke 22-20 in the 5th in late March, and if they drop that one set they probably don't make the tournament.

They beat Louisville, GT, Notre Dame, and Florida State. They would have still been 4th place ACC and made the tournament. Georgia Tech made it solely by beating FSU twice, Pitt had a clear better resume.
