SEC Champs! Cats Rally Past Game****************s to Win Title

[Matt Dillon]

NASHVILLE – Dre'una Edwards hit a three-pointer with 4.2 seconds remaining, lifting Kentucky past No. 1 South Carolina 64-62 on Sunday in the championship game of the Southeastern Conference Women's Basketball Tournament.

Kentucky claimed just its second SEC Tournament title in school history. The Cats last won the postseason event in 1982.

Edwards' three capped an 11-0 run that helped UK overcome a double-digit, fourth-quarter deficit to win. Kentucky scored 14 of the last 16 points in the game to win.

Edwards led the Cats in scoring with 27 points, 19 of which came in the second half. For the game, she made 11 of 21 from the field, including three of five from behind the arc, and both of her free throws. She added nine rebounds, an assist and a blocked shot.

Kentucky (19-11), which won for the 10^th straight game, also got 18 points from All-American Rhyne Howard. The senior also had four rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocked shots.

I watched the entire thing. First women's game I've watched since...well, probably since the last time I watched UK last year or maybe the year before.

The way that game unfolded was incredible. Kentucky was down 15 late in the first half. Then we were down 13 or 14 early in the 4th quarter. We weren't even in the universe of winning that thing. It didn't help that SC has a female Oscar Tshiebwe down there who just dominates the paint.

And then we won. It's been an hour and I still have no idea how we did it.

Great coaching job by Elzy. Reminded me of Tubby Smith in '98. Just stay the course, stay the course, hold the line...and then steal it in the end.

Unbelievable! I have watched the ending multiple times. So happyfor the coach too

Cal was there. Maybe he can light a fire under the guys and tell them not to be out down by the ladies!

A very physical game and the whistles were confusing at best. Our Ladies fought hard and deserved the win. Very proud of them.

Watched the game at the neighborhood pub along with 20 or so UK fans. Just amazing. When that young gal hit the shot, I thought the windows were gonna get blown out by everybody screaming and jumping up and down. So proud of the ladies!!!!

Coach Elzy found it. Can you believe it? She's really on a run.

I have to admit I got teary eyed at the end Wow! Like I said Lady Cat fans gotta give Coach Elzy time to build it; she will need time after Rhyne leaves but these ladies BELIEVE-CONGRATS!!!!

Two talented but ****************y teams lost in their tournaments. S. Carolina and UL. Our Kentucky Ladies fought for their chance to win and earned it. I got a kick watching the USC Big running over people, and UK flopping trying to draw a foul.
