Kentucky’s upcoming appearance in the 2024 SEC Tournament will mark its 22nd in the tournament’s traditional history. There have been 44 traditional tournaments, so the Cats have been present in exactly half of them. From 1993-1995, the league ran separate tournaments for the SEC East and SEC West divisions, so Kentucky was present in the East Tournament all three years. After finishing the regular season with a 39-12 (22-8) record, Kentucky and Tennessee (46-10, 22-8) split a share of the 2024 SEC Regular Season Championship. However, Tennessee will get the No. 1 seed in the tournament (tiebr...

Kentucky will be the No. 3 overall seed in the 2024 SEC Baseball Tournament, which begins Tuesday, May 21 in Hoover, Alabama. The Cats could have wrapped up the No. 1 overall seed with a win over Vanderbilt on Saturday, but the ‘Dores avoided the sweep with a 12-4 victory. Kentucky ended up tying with Tennessee atop the SEC with a 22-8 record, meaning the Vols got the No. 1 seed in the tournament due to their tiebreaker. 2024 marks the last season of divisions in the SEC with the impending arrival of Oklahoma and Texas in 2025. Due to the dumbfounding rule (which will be abolished next season)...

No. 2 Kentucky fell in the regular series finale to Vanderbilt 12-4 on Saturday. With a win, Kentucky would’ve clinched its first sweep of Vanderbilt since 1988. If there were any doubts that the Commodores would be in danger of missing their first NCAA Tournament since 2005, they shut those down with the win on Saturday. By failing to finish off the sweep, Kentucky left the door open for Tennessee to clinch its share of the SEC Regular Season Championship. The Volunteers finished off the sweep of South Carolina on Saturday with a 4-1 win, clinching a share of their fifth SEC Regular Season ti...

Kentucky Baseball clinched at least a share of just its second ever SEC Regular Season Championship Friday night with its 17-7 win over Vanderbilt. The Cats improved to 22-7 in conference play and can win the conference crown outright with a victory over Vanderbilt in the series finale on Saturday or a Tennessee loss to South Carolina in their series finale. “I took a moment to soak it in after the game with the staff out there,” Kentucky head coach Nick Mingione said postgame. “They deserve it.” The 2024 season marked Mingione’s eighth season at the helm. His tenure in Lexington has been up a...

No. 2 Kentucky run-ruled Vanderbilt 17-7 in seven innings Friday night to clinch the series victory, its third in a row to end the regular season. The Cats scored at least one run in all six innings. Not only did Kentucky clinch its first series victory over Vanderbilt since 2017, but it also clinched at least a share of its second ever SEC Regular Season Championship. Kentucky split the SEC regular season title with Georgia back in 2006, when the Cats and Bulldogs finished the season with an identical 20-10 conference record. The Cats could have clinched the outright title with a Tennessee lo...

No. 2 Kentucky took down Vanderbilt 10-5 Thursday night to open its final series of the regular season. Left fielder Ryan Waldschmidt continued his rise as one of the SEC’s top players, as he went 3-3 with a home run, a double, and three RBI. Thursday night’s game marked Waldschmidt’s 10th of the season where he notched at least three or more hits in a game. With the win, the Cats notched their 21st SEC win of the season, which sets the new program record. Their previous high for SEC wins in a season came back in 2006, when the SEC co-champions finished with a 20-10 record. Kentucky has now se...

On the cusp of its potentially second ever SEC Regular Season championship, No. 2 Kentucky closes its record-breaking regular season this weekend at home against Vanderbilt. The Cats enter the final weekend one game ahead (20-7) of No. 1 Tennessee and No. 3 Arkansas (19-8) atop the SEC. If Kentucky wins at least two of three over the Commodores, they can clinch at least a share of the conference no matter what the Vols and Hogs do this weekend. A sweep would ensure Kentucky’s first outright SEC crown in program history. For the third consecutive series however, the Cats are fighting against hi...

Kentucky Baseball could clinch its second ever SEC Regular Season Championship this weekend in its final regular season series against Vanderbilt. Coach Nick Mingione and the team however are trying to remain as level headed as they can be. “Yesterday when I spoke to the team, we went over exactly what this weekend entailed and what was on the line,” Mingione said at Wednesday morning’s press opportunity. “We reminded them ‘hey, when you’re climbing a mountain you don’t just stare at the mountain top, you go one step at a time.’ The reason we’re in this spot is because we’ve done an amazing jo...
