Kentucky was impressive enough in a loss to No. 1 Kansas and blowout win over Stonehill to move up one spot in the AP Top 25 this week.
The Wildcats (3-1) are up to No. 16 in the new poll that came out this afternoon.
Kansas remains No. 1 as they prepare to tip off in the Maui Invitational. Purdue is No. 2 and Arizona is No. 3.
