Kentucky basketball hasn’t played since their CBS Sports Classic loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes. That was nearly 10 days ago. With most teams taking the Christmas holiday off, there weren’t a lot of changes in the rankings. The Wildcats dropped a spot in the coaches poll, but in the new AP Top 25 Poll, they stayed at number ten.
At 10 – 2, Kentucky has surprised most people, and have been ranked in the top ten for the past few weeks. Their current ranking has them fifth of the teams from the SEC.
