Louisville women fall to Kentucky for 5th straight year

In what has become one of the worst holiday traditions in Louisville, the U of L women's basketball team fell to Kentucky for a fifth straight season with a 70-54 loss Thursday night at Rupp Arena.

In each of the previous three meetings in the series, Louisville had lost a game to UK which it led by at least 14 points. The Cards didn't make things as interesting in 2015, quickly falling behind 7-0 and never seriously challenging the unbeaten and 8th-ranked Wildcats.

The star for Kentucky was once again sophomore Makayla Epps, who scored 24 points and connected on all but one of her 11 field goal attempts.
