Kentucky Wildcats Snap SEC Tournament Streak

0:00On March 12, Kentucky's men's basketball team has snapped a long streak without multiple wins in the SEC tournament. The Wildcats grabbed back-to-back victories over Louisiana State and Missouri this week in Nashville. It's their first time advancing past one game since winning the whole thing in 2018. That earlier drought stretched across the end of John Calipari's time as coach and into Mark Pope's first year. Kentucky holds the record with 32 conference tournament titles overall, but they couldn't even snag one win in three of Calipari's last four tournaments there. Fans have waited years for this kind of run from a program used to deep weaken stays in Nashville. The early exits stung for supporters expecting more from such a powerhouse squad. Now the Wildcats sit prime for a deeper push, having fought through Wednesday and Thursday games. Their momentum echoes the March winning ways that define them for so long. Kentucky looks ready to chase that familiar success once again in the tournament.
