The Kentucky Wildcats are the University of Kentucky’s intercollegiate men’s and women’s squads. The sports that the Wildcats participate in include basketball, golf, soccer and softball, and they’re in Divison 1 of the NCAA.

At first, the women’s squads were called the “Lady Kats”, but in 1955, both the men’s and women’s teams were referred to as the “Wildcats”.

The Wildcats won their first basketball championship in 1948 with their roster known as the “Fabulous Five”. Altogether, they have won twelve national championships.
