During that time, the Wildcats have won two conference titles and have produced ten Consensus All-Americans. They have also been crowned national champions on one occasion. Not only that but they have also headlined fourteen post bowl games.

Basketball

Men’s basketball has always been one of Wildcats strongest sports. They have been absolutely dominant in the sport to rank alongside the greatest collegiate basketball programs in history. They have been crowned regular season conference champions a staggering forty seven times and have won the conference tournament twenty eight times. They have also won the NCAA championship eight times to solidify their place up there among the greatest of all time.

Baseball

Baseball has also enjoyed some success as part of the sports that the Kentucky Wildcats play. The program has gone through some winning seasons before 2005 and has a few tournament appearances to show for their efforts. Things started to improve in 2006 when Wildcats managed to get their hands on the conference title for the first time in their history. That triumph put their baseball program on the map and better things are now expected of them in the future.

The Kentucky Wildcats have also won conference and national titles in other sports like women’s basketball, women’s cross country and rifles. There is room for improvement and a lot of effort is being made to ensure the program reaches higher than it has ever gone before. Things are looking up and that makes the next few seasons very special indeed.
