After winning the SEC Tournament less than two weeks ago, Kentucky Women’s Basketball’s season has come to a shocking close.
On Saturday, No. 6 seed Kentucky (19-12) fell to the No. 11 seed Princeton Tigers (25-4) 69-62 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The loss marks the end of a 10-game win streak for Kentucky and the finish line of a legendary career for Rhyne Howard.
The win was revenge for Princeton, which fell to Kentucky in the Round of 64 in 2019. Moreover, the fall is another year Kentucky has failed to make it past the tournament’s second round.
