Kentucky’s sweep of Alabama to begin SEC play now feels like a different time and place.
The Wildcats lost their sixth consecutive league series on Saturday, falling 9-4 at South Carolina.
Kentucky (26-15, 8-12 SEC) has now lost six of its last seven games, and its once-strong postseason resume is suddenly on shaky ground. The Cats were as high as 17th in the RPI two weeks ago, but have since slid to 34th.
Nick Mingione’s squad will need at least five SEC wins from here on out to feel good about its NCAA Tournament chances. That would put them at 13 in league play. Typically, 14 has been the magic number, but some teams with UK’s quality wins have earned a bid in recent years with a baker’s dozen.
