In what should surprise nobody at this point, Kentucky women’s basketball is ranked in the new USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, and once again, they’re at number 16.
The ranking has become familiar to the Wildcats, who have been ranked 16th in six of the last eight weeks. They were 15th in the other two weeks. They’re having a tough time climbing past that spot, no matter how they perform. This past week, they went 2 – 0 in their first two conference matchups.

Kentucky comes in as the fifth highest ranked SEC team this week. South Carolina leads the way from the number one spot, with the Texas Longhorns next at number four. The LSU Tigers and Oklahoma Sooners also made the top ten, and six SEC teams are ranked overall.
The Cats are 13 – 1 on the season, and play Florida next. They’ll look to get to 3 – 0 in the conference, and, hopefully, higher in the rankings next week.
