The 2010–11 Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team represents the University of Kentucky in the 2010–11 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Wildcats, coached by Matthew Mitchell, are a member of the Southeastern Conference, and play their home games on campus at Memorial Coliseum—unlike UK's famous men's program, which plays off-campus at Rupp Arena in downtown Lexington.
This season, Kentucky returned three starters, including Victoria Dunlap, A'dia Mathies and Keyla Snowden, while adding one of the top recruiting classes in the nation. Kentucky was picked by the leagues coaches to finish second in the SEC behind Tennessee. Victoria Dunlap, a 6-foot-1 forward from Nashville, Tenn., enters her senior season as one of the most decorated players in UK Hoops history. She was named the 2010 Southeastern Conference Player of the Year by The Associated Press and the league's coaches and was one of the 10 State Farm All-Americans named by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association last year, becoming UK's first All-American since Valerie Still in 1983. She is also on the Wade Trophy watch list awarded to the nation's top player. Dunlap was also picked to repeat as SEC Player of the Year by the league coaches, collecting eight of the twelve votes. Sophomore guard A'dia Mathies made the All-SEC first team. The Lady Wildcats also have a large freshman class this season, and will look to it to provide some depth for later in the season. Carly Marrow, a returning senior that usually comes off the bench, will also be relied upon to provide some much needed experience to an otherwise young second string.
