Kentucky watches its season end in Sweet 16 as Texas blows by in 76-54 rout

[Matt Dillon]

Kentucky took on Texas back on Feb. 9, losing 64-53 to the Longhorns in Austin. Of course, Kentucky hung around for a while but came up short in the end. Fast forward to Saturday and Kenny Brooks‘ earned its shot at revenge against the Longhorns — this time in the Sweet 16.

With a win, Kentucky would advance to its fifth Elite Eight in program history and first since 2013, when the program went to three regional finals in a four-year run under Matthew Mitchell. With a loss, the 2025-26 season would come to an end.

We were never in it, and this team committed way too many turnovers all season long. If you let Asia Boone try to play point guard you’ve conceded defeat. We may be better next year even with the loss of Hassett, Key and Morgan.

I hated that they lost...Hopefully they can try to make another run next season
