The league sent eight programs to the 2021-22 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, and three more to the Women’s National Invitation Tournament, with half of the NCAA Tournament teams winning at least one game on the national stage. Since 2012, the SEC has had at least seven teams receive bids each year, while it leads all other conferences in all-time NCAA Tournament bids with 256.

Since 1995-96, Kentucky will play its permanent rival South Carolina twice this season, as well as its two other rotating opponents, Georgia and Missouri.

The Wildcats, who defeated the Gamecocks in the 2021-22 SEC Tournament Championship last March, will sport a remodeled roster for the upcoming season, which features five returners and 10 newcomers. Familiar faces such as former starters Nyah Leveretter and Jada Walker will return in 2022-23, while Blair Green is primed to make a comeback after sitting out last season with a ruptured Achilles. The returners will be complemented by a handful of incoming talent, which includes six freshmen and four transfers.

Last week, the program announced its invitation to compete at the 2022 Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship at the Baha Mar Convention, Arts & Entertainment Center in Nassua, The Bahamas, Nov. 21-23. The remainder of the 2022-23 Kentucky women’s basketball schedule will be released at a later date.
