On Wednesday, John Calipari, Tre Mitchell, and Antonio Reeves spoke to the media in Birmingham for SEC Media Days, and one thing came to mind: It’s officially basketball season.
As the Kentucky Wildcats approach their first exhibition game next week, rankings and final standing predictions are starting to roll out for conferences across the country. The Cats are ranked at No. 16 in the country in both the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. They’ve also been predicted to finish fourth in the SEC in the preseason rankings released this week.
Even after all those rankings, betting odds still like Kentucky’s chances to bring home both the SEC Title and the National Championship.
