11/12/2025 06:42:35 PM37% from three-point range isn’t too shabby. Wonder if this will continue to fluctuate game-to-game or if they’ll find some consistency from beyond the arc.

11/12/2025 05:44:12 PMCats are currently on a 9-0 run sparked by Jordan Obi and Amelia Hassett, who have five points each thus far. Kentucky’s three-point shooting still looks like a big question mark at the moment.
