The Wildcats powered past Auburn (3-0), Tennessee (3-1), and Texas (3-2) to lift the tournament trophy, showcasing their depth, resilience, and ability to perform under postseason pressure.
Throughout the regular season, Kentucky collected several marquee wins, including two sweeps over Texas and a five-set battle against Nebraska that pushed the top-seeded Huskers to the brink. Their only setbacks came in a competitive 3-2 loss to Nebraska and a 3-0 defeat against Pitt, giving the Wildcats a clear picture of the challenge ahead.
With their top-two national seed, Kentucky will host the opening weekend inside Memorial Coliseum, gaining a crucial home-court advantage. The Wildcats will open the tournament against Wofford in the first round, setting the stage for what they hope will be another deep postseason run under head coach Craig Skinner.
