Kentucky volleyball vs Arkansas: How to watch NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 match today
LEXINGTON — Kentucky volleyball is on a run the program hasn't seen in nearly half a decade.
The Wildcats enter Thursday's third-round NCAA Tournament matchup on an 18-match winning streak, their longest since putting together a 23-match run in 2018.
UK's aim: To add a second national championship to its trophy case, matching what it accomplished in April 2021, when it became the first SEC team to capture a national title.
To accomplish that feat again, Kentucky (21-7) and longtime coach Craig Skinner must win four more matches. That starts with Thursday's afternoon tussle with SEC rival Arkansas (27-5) in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Wildcats and Razorbacks met twice during the regular season, with UK sweeping the home-and-home series. Kentucky won a five-setter in Lexington on Oct. 22. UK then cruised past Arkansas in straight sets in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on Nov. 22.
The winner of Thursday's match between the Wildcats and Razorbacks, which begins at 4:30 p.m., will face the victor of the day's first regional semifinal, which pits host (and top-seeded) Nebraska against fifth-seeded Georgia Tech.
The regional final will start at 6 p.m. Saturday.
UK advanced to regionals after a pair of victories last week, hosting the first two rounds at Rupp Arena and not dropping a set.
Kentucky beat Wofford (25-17, 25-15, 25-16) in the first round and then dispatched Baylor (25-18, 25-22, 25-17) in the second round to punch its ticket to the Sweet 16.
