On Wednesday, the Southeastern Conference announced the Wildcats’ intraconference schedule, which includes eight home games at Memorial Coliseum and eight road games. Kentucky’s toughest challenge will come in the form of a home-and-home against reigning national champion South Carolina, which is expected to begin the season ranked No. 1 in the country.

Kentucky will participate in a home-and-home against three programs: South Carolina (permanent opponent), Missouri, and Georgia. The remaining SEC foes will be single-game matchups, with half played at home and the other half on the road.

Eight of UK’s 16 SEC opponents made the NCAA Tournament a year ago. Spanning from Jan. 1 through Jan. 15, the ‘Cats will face five consecutive teams that made the postseason earlier this year. Coach Kyra Elzy and her squad will get a seven-day break after that.

Following the conclusion of the regular season, the 2023 SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament will return to Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC for the fifth time in seven years. The tournament will begin on Wednesday, March 1 and conclude on Sunday, March 5.
