LIVE BLOG: Kentucky WBB vs. Queens

Kentucky took its first loss of the season to North Carolina last Thursday, but they have a chance to get back on track against the Queen Royals (6 p.m. ET, SEC Network+). KSR’s new and improved LIVE BLOG will bring you all the sights and sounds from Historic Memorial Coliseum.

Queens is 5-3 on the season, having losses to Wake Forest, Winthrop and Longwood. The Cats should be able to win this one pretty easily, but the games are played for a reason.
