NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Kentucky Wildcats are on their own personal revenge tour in the Southeastern Conference women's tournament.
Now they have a chance to try and add top-ranked and regular season champ South Carolina to the list.
Rhyne Howard scored 24 points, and Kentucky never trailed beating No. 18 Tennessee 83-74 on Saturday night in the SEC semifinals after upsetting sixth-ranked LSU in the quarterfinals.
The seventh-seeded Wildcats (18-11) reached their first tournament championship game since 2014 and their sixth all-time. They did it beating Tennessee in the semifinals for the first time in three tries, and Kentucky will play top-ranked South Carolina, a 61-51 winner over Mississippi, on Sunday for the championship.
