Good Morning BBN!

In what has been another busy weekend for the spring sports across the Bluegrass, one team is headed to the SEC Championship this afternoon as they look to bring home a conference championship.

That is the Kentucky Wildcats Men’s Tennis team.

Currently in Auburn (AL) for the SEC Tournament, the men’s team got revenge against the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday to advance to the final round.

The Cats (No. 5) came back from a 3-1 deficit to the No. 9 Volunteers to pick up the huge victory. This win also avenges a 4-0 sweep that UK suffered to Tennessee in Knoxville earlier this season.

Watching the final point is also an awesome video to watch.

The Cats will now face off against the Georgia Bulldogs, who are coming off of a 4-0 victory over Texas A&M on Saturday.

The two teams faced off to end the month of March, and it resulted in a 5-2 victory for UGA.

Should be a fun match to end the Conference tournament this afternoon.
