The voters have spoken. There is a new college basketball AP Poll and the Wildcats are ranked No. 4 in the country on Valentine’s Day.
Kentucky was ranked fifth for two straight weeks. A 24-point loss by Purdue on the road at Michigan made room for the Wildcats to move up one spot.
The Wildcats will face No. 16 Tennessee Tuesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena, then host No. 25 Alabama Saturday at Rupp Arena. They could be without TyTy Washington and Jacob Toppin, who each suffered lower leg injuries last week.
This Saturday a new set of rankings will provide more clarity of where Kentucky stands with less than one month until Selection Sunday.
