Let’s take a minute to talk about how good Kentucky’s volleyball team is right now. Yesterday, the Cats pulled a huge upset on No. 1 ranked (and previously undefeated) Florida. They’re now 16-2, and 7-0 in SEC play. It was Kentucky’s first win over the No. 1 ranked team in the volleyball program’s history. Their next matchup is against Tennessee on the 22.
