UK Women's Basketball

Georgia Amoore, an All-American point guard from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, is the eighth player in University of Kentucky women’s basketball history to be selected in the WNBA Draft and the first since Rhyne Howard was selected in 2022. She joins four other Cats – Howard, Evelyn Akhator, A’dia Mathies and Victoria Dunlap – in program history to be picked in the first round.

In a classic NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament game, fourth-seeded Kentucky fell to fifth-seeded Kansas State 80-79 in overtime on Sunday at Historic Memorial Coliseum. The game featured nine ties and awhopping 21 lead changes. K-State took the lead with 56 seconds to go and UK had four shots inside the final 30 seconds with a chance to win, but Kentucky was unable to convert.

The fourth-seeded Kentucky Wildcats got a reminder of how quickly leads can disappear in their women's NCAA Tournament opener. Now they hope they don't forget how to finish out a win.

Georgia Amoore scored 34 points, including three free throws in the final 10 seconds for fourth-seeded Kentucky, which nearly blew a 17-point fourth-quarter lead but held on for a 79-78 victory over 13th-seeded Liberty in the first round of the women's NCAA Tournament on Friday.

When fourth-seeded Kentucky tips off at home against No. 13 Liberty on Friday, it will be the first time the Wildcats have hosted the opening rounds since 2017.

Kentucky earned the number four seed in its region and the Cats will host the first two rounds of the 2025 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament inside Historic Memorial Coliseum. UK begins play on Friday, facingLiberty at home. Hosting the first two rounds is a big advantage, according to UK head coach Kenny Brooks.
