Today ... it's Virginia! But next season ... the Wildcats return to the top. College basketball writer and AP Top 25 voter SCOTT RICHEY has Kentucky cutting down the nets at the 2020 national championship game in Atlanta as he sees it in his way-too-early top 10 for the 2019-2020 season:
1. Kentucky
Ashton Hagans’ potential return at point guard is key for the Wildcats, and adding Kahlil Whitney and Keion Brooks on the wing is trouble for everyone else.
2. Michigan State
The Spartans won 32 games, bring back Cassius Winston (and nearly everybody else) and have some interesting pieces coming in the 2019 class.
