There were countless reasons Kentucky Women’s Basketball lost to DePaul, and Dre’Una Edwards’ absence undoubtedly was one of them.
The No. 14 ‘Cats were without their star forward in their 94-85 loss against DePaul on Thursday night. The program announced Edwards would not play only an hour before the game. Edwards was suspended for not “upholding the academic standards of the program.” Although the suspension was for only one game, it was an important one.
DePaul was one of Kentucky’s toughest opponents of the season yet. Further, UK was honoring Matthew Mitchell during Thursday night’s game.
