Because college basketball writers love to work on Sundays, several of your favorite college basketball publications already have new power rankings and polls to reflect the weekend’s results. Unfortunately, most still omitted the Wildcats from their weekly top 25s. Of the power rankings we scoured, only Andy Katz and ESPN’s BPI like the Cats. So they’re cool.
Everyone else still isn’t sold on Kentucky. So they’re not cool.
Over at NCAA.com, the new version of Andy Katz’s Power 36 college basketball rankings lists Kentucky at No. 24 nationally.
“The Wildcats have figured out how to play together and close, beating Tennessee and Texas A&M in two of their last three games,” writes Katz.
