Kentucky’s No. 2 overall seed in the 2021 Tournament marks their highest in the history of the program. Coming off a fourth straight SEC Championship and earning the highest seed in team history, 2020-21 could potentially be the most successful ever for UK.
The Volleyball ‘Cats will be headed to the Omaha, NE bubble in the coming days and hopefully they’ll return with a banner. Kentucky’s opening round game will take place on April 15 at 7 p.m. (ESPN3) against the winner of Illinois State and UNLV.
