Pump It Up: Kentucky continues final push for NCAA Tournament bid

Kentucky returned home this weekend for a three-game homestand. The Bat Cats were riding a long SEC series losing streak and needed to flip the script after a 9-13 run over the last 22 games. Nick Mingione‘s squad did just that.

The Bat Cats find themselves on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble after taking a home series over ranked Tennessee, but the the work is not done yet. The final SEC road trip of the season arrives this weekend before a critical home series next weekend before the postseason beings.

Crunch time has arrived for this baseball program. Bat Cats Central‘s Derek Terry and myself are jumping back into the KSR virtual podcast studios to discuss the latest with Kentucky baseball. Braxton Van Cleave is emerging, Tyler Bell is delivering, and Ben Cleaver has a chance to change the outlook of this season.

A huge push to the postseason starts now. Smash that play button.
