Kentucky is fresh off a 75-73 road loss at Arkansas, and the Wildcats have dropped to No. 7 in the AP Top 25. The Wildcats are still in position for a No. 2 seed for the NCAA Tournament, but a No. 3 seed at the SEC Tournament feels most likely.
However, the close loss to Arkansas wasn’t all bad. Oscar Tshiebwe had another masterful performance to increase his Player of the Year campaign plus Kentucky got TyTy Washington and Sahvir Wheeler back into the lineup. After settling into the game against the best defense in the SEC, we saw in the second half why this Kentucky team can be special thanks to the firepower on offense.
