ESPN’s core group of college basketball analysts are high on the Kentucky Wildcats going into the 2022-23 season. Very high.
Joe Lunardi, Myron Medcalf, Jeff Borzello and John Gasaway came together for an SEC conference preview, where Kentucky was not only singled out as a favorite in the league, but a favorite to win the national championship. Star center Oscar Tshiebwe was also named the consensus preseason SEC Player of the Year by the outlet.
Lunardi, college basketball’s most popular bracketologist, named Kentucky as his early favorite to win it all next April.
