On Feb. 10 – the last time Kentucky played South Carolina – the Wildcats dropped to a record of 9-11 following a nine-point loss to the Gamecocks. The team was in the midst of a four-game losing streak.
Since that day, Kentucky hasn’t lost, winning 10 straight games. Today, the program added a conference championship to its resumé.
As the seven seed in the SEC Tournament, Kentucky (19-11) did the impossible Sunday afternoon, handing top-ranked South Carolina (29-2) its second loss of the year by the score of 64-62, ending its 17-game winning streak and robbing the program of its seventh conference tournament championship in eight years.
