Seven weeks isn’t a long time in the grand scheme of things. Seven weeks ago we were just entering a new decade, figuring out our New Year’s resolutions that we all know haven’t lasted. It feels like it hasn’t even been a few days since we first crossed over into 2020. But over the course…
It was a hard-fought battle, but the No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks proved to be too much for the No. 14 Kentucky Wildcats down the stretch, as the SEC’s leader won in Memorial Coliseum 67-58. The ‘Cats were led by superstar sophomore Rhyne Howard, who posted 24 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists. Most of her…

The No. 14 Kentucky Wildcats dominating 94-52 win over the Ole Miss Rebels on Thursday night down in Oxford saw flashbacks to the win from this past Sunday over the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The similarities were frightening, yet encouraging: Mississippi State led Kentucky 6-0 in the first 90 seconds on that game, which forced the…
I have officially lost count. Rhyne Howard was tabbed to another Midseason Award Watchlist, this time as one of 10 players to make the cut for the Wade Trophy, handed out to the nation’s best player. Howard has now been named to watchlists for the Wade Trophy, Cheryl Miller Award, Naismith Trophy, and John R.…

This week she shares the honor with Texas A&M’s Chennedy Carter. Playing against No. 6 Mississippi State, Howard recorded just her fifth double-double of the season, scoring 26…

I’ll be honest, coming into Sunday’s game against the No. 6 ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs, I wasn’t all that confident in the Kentucky women’s basketball team. The embarrassing loss they suffered at the hands of No. 25 Arkansas just seven days earlier still resonated in my mind. Sure, Rhyne Howard was back in the lineup, but…

Just seven days ago, the Kentucky Wildcats women’s basketball team suffered its worst loss of the season. Earlier on Sunday, they executed its most impressive win yet. The No. 18 UK Hoops squad (19-5) pulled off a massive upset win by a final score of 73-62 over one of the hottest teams in the country.…
Playing with basically one-and-a-half hand(s), Rhyne Howard and her No. 18 Kentucky Wildcats earned an upset win over the No. 6 Mississippi State Bulldogs, 73-62, on Sunday afternoon in Memorial Coliseum. Behind Howard’s fifth double-double of the season (26 points, 10 rebounds) in which she surpassed the 1,000 point mark in just her 53rd game…
Now THAT is how you respond. They’ve been doing it all year, but the No. 18 UK Hoops squad hadn’t faced adversity quite like this. After a disastrous loss to Arkansas seven days ago, the Wildcats dismantled the No. 6 Mississippi State Bulldogs by a final score of 73-62 inside Memorial Coliseum on Sunday afternoon.…

There were plenty of storylines to go around in this game, but not one that Kentucky would have expected. Despite Rhyne Howard making a surprise return to the starting lineup and a career-high 32 points from Chasity Patterson, the No. 15 Wildcats gave up triple-digits for the first time all season, falling to No. 25 Arkansas 103-85.…
