Kentucky basketball needs impressive wins here on out with first NET ratings released.

The NCAA released the first NET rankings for the 2020-21 men’s basketball season on Monday and Kentucky basketball fans need to scroll way down to find the Wildcats which should signal a big warning sign.

The NET, which stands for the NCAA Evaluation Tool, replaced the RPI after the 2017-18 season and it is used as the primary sorting tool for selection and seeding for the NCAA tournament.
