llll comes close

Yesterday afternoon at Memorial Coliseum was
opportunity number eight for the UK Women’s bas-
ketball team to notch their first Southeastern Con-
ference victory this season.

The result was the same against Auburn —— a loss.
But the Cats were one step away from breaking into
the win column.

Down by one with eight seconds left, the Cats’
Tiffany \Vait drove the baseline and pulled up for a
12-foot jumpshot.

The whistle blew, and though Wait anticipated a
foul, the referee emphatically signaled a traveling
call.

“I thought I had my shot," Wait said. “I thought I
got fouled. I know I didn’t travel.”

After the costly turnover, Auburn took possession
and missed a wide-open layup. The Cats grabbed the
rebound with a scant few seconds.

Instead of calling a timeout and setting up a play,
the Cats settled for 3 Natalie Martinez three-quarter
court heave.

The prayer fell nowhere close to the hoop and
gave the Cats a 60-59 loss, their eighth straight con-
ference defeat.
