QUICK FACTS

• UK moved up to No. 12 in the AP Top 25 and No. 10 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Week 2 is the earliest a UK team has broken into either rankings’ top 10 in the Kenny Brooks era.
• Kentucky is coming off a neutral-site win over then-No. 25/25 NC State on Sunday, 93-78, in part thanks to a school-record-tying 18 team 3s, including a school-record-tying eight made 3s by first-year, 20-year-old Ajša Sivka.
• For her 32-point, five-rebound and three-assist affair, Sivka was named both the USBWA National Player of the Week and the SEC Player of the Week.
• “The 6-5s” front court all contributed to the 18 teams 3s – Sivka (8), Clara Strack (3) and Me’Arah O’Neal (2).
• UK scored its second-most points in regulation against an AP ranked opponent since 1992-93 (also 95 points at No. 13 Oklahoma on Feb. 2, 2025).
• The Wildcats are coming off back-to-back games with at least nine team 3s. Their 10.7 3PG are second in the league and 12th in the nation.
• Strack already leads the league and is second in the nation with 12 blocks. She needs 19 more to break the UK career school record.
• The Wildcats boast the No. 6 transfer class in the nation (On3) and the No. 6 freshman class in the nation (ESPN).
