roaring back from a 10-point third-quarter deficit to knock off sixth-seeded Alabama 71-58, earning a berth in Friday’s quarterfinals against Tennessee.

The Wildcats, who knocked off 11th-seeded Florida on Wednesday, have won six straight SEC tournament games and coach Kyra Elzy is 7-1 in three appearances. Kentucky became the second-lowest seed (seventh) to win the tournament a year ago.
