Kentucky's season turnaround a credit to Kyra Elzy's impressive coaching job

Not even a full month ago, Kentucky Women’s Basketball was at its lowest point in years.

The Wildcats were 9-11 on the season, posting an incredibly poor 2-8 record in SEC play. 20-point losses were becoming a deflating trend, various injuries and one key suspension hindered any shot at continuity, multiple games were either canceled or postponed due to COVID-19, and no one appeared to be having any fun on the floor for UK.

If you pulled up social media, you wouldn’t have to scroll long before finding plenty of strangers calling for head coach Kyra Elzy’s job following every loss.
