The Kentucky Wildcats Volleyball team is preparing for its Sweet 16 matchup, and the opponent is a familiar one.

The 8-seed Wildcats take on SEC foe 9-seed Arkansas in the Sweet 16 this evening.

Kentucky owns a pair of wins over Arkansas this season, a 3-2 win at home back on Oct. 22 as well as a 3-0 win in Fayetteville just one month later.

Kentucky coach Craig Skinner knows beating a team three times isn’t easy, and this will be a tough matchup for his squad.

“They know us well, we know them well, but it’s the first time we’ve played them in the NCAA Tournament, and that’s how we have to look at it,” Skinner said.
