As noted in the Tweet, Kentucky is in the NCAA Tournament for the 11th time in program history. They've been in six of the last seven tournament fields and were the #3 seed in 2018 where the Cats reached the quarterfinal round.
New Hampshire won the America East Championship for the third straight year. Also known as the Wildcats, UNH was 8-0-1 this season with all of the matches taking place against America East opponents.
UK and New Hampshire will play Sunday, May 2 with a time still to be determined. The winner will advance to play the winner of No. 5 seed Wake Forest and Coastal Carolina.
