UK Men’s Tennis senior Eric Quigley extended his Wildcat career for another day this afternoon by advancing to the Final Four of the singles NCAA tournament. Quigley is just the third player in UK history to advance to the semifinals. Jesse Witten (2002 finals) and Carlos Drada (2000 finals) are the only other 2 former tennis players from UK to advance past the Elite 8. Quigley won in dramatic fashion, coming back from down 3-1 in the second set to add to his first set victory. Quigley sealed the deal with back-to-back aces to clinch the match. The #2 seed in the tournament, Mitchell Frank of Virginia, was upset in the Elite 8. Eric Quigley’s road to the championship just opened up a bit wider with the upset.
Quigley has enjoyed a stellar career in his time as a Kentucky Wildcat. Finishing with a trip to the Final 4 (and hopefully a national championship) would be the perfect way for the South Oldham alum (shout out to my high school) to cap off his collegiate career.
Quigley will meet Ohio State’s Blaz Rola in the Final Four match at noon tomorrow. Good luck to Quigley in his quest for a national championship. #WeAreUK

Meanwhile, Baseball is down one in the top of the ninth. Not good.

Bat Cats couldn’t get it done. 2-1 final.

Yes, UK baseball had a great start and a great year, but they sure melted down in crunch time at the end. Cohen came back to eat their lunch again. They beat us 4 out of 5 here at the end of the season and this qualifies as year ending “choke” for Henderson and boys.

Mike,
Dude you need to get a clue. They did not choke first off. If you knew anything about baseball it is rare for a team to finish any season with under double digit losses. Its fans like you who say teams choke for not winning every game. I doubt you ever played sports and if you did you probably rode the pine. People and fans like you are the type that give normal UK fans a bad name. Get a life you idiot
