The Kentucky men’s and women’s basketball programs are both nurturing prevalent starts to their 2024-25 campaigns.
First-year Head Coach Mark Pope and the men’s team have built a 14-3 overall record and a 3-1 SEC record while first-year Head Coach Kenny Brooks and the women’s team have constructed a 15-1 overall record and 4-0 conference record, the best start since the 2012-13 season.
In this week’s AP Top 25 poll, the UK men sat at No. 8 in the nation while the women’s program worked its way up to No. 12. With this, the two programs make Kentucky the only Division-I school to have both its men’s and women’s teams ranked inside of the top 12 of the Week 11 AP Top 25 poll.
