Kentucky is projected as a top-25 team ahead of the 2023-24 college basketball season — anchored by a top-10 offense that ranks first in the SEC.
KenPom released its official 2024 preseason rankings on Sunday with the Wildcats entering the year at No. 18 overall, an adjusted efficiency margin of 20.30. That’s good for the No. 10 overall offense (111.2) in the nation along with the No. 35 defense (90.9).
AdjEM is the difference between a team’s offensive and defensive efficiency, meaning Kentucky is expected to outscore the average D-1 team over 100 possessions by 20.
