Kentucky Falls to Texas in Sweet Sixteen, 24 Turnovers

Kentucky fell to Texas in the Sweet Sixteen, losing 22‑points after a 15‑0 run and 24 turnovers. The Wildcats finished with 24 made shots and 24 turnovers.

In a Sweet Sixteen showdown at Dickies Arena, Texas dismantled Kentucky with a 15‑0 run early in the game, turning 24 turnovers into a 22‑point victory. Kentucky’s key playmaker Tonie Morgan finished with 8 points and 8 turnovers, and the Wildcats were unable to capitalize on their 24 made shots.

The loss ends Kentucky’s remarkable season, but the program will look to the transfer portal and a top‑10 recruiting class to rebuild. Freshman Kaelyn Carroll will be expected to step up as the team prepares for next season.
