This afternoon, it was announced that the league’s media voted on UK to take home the program’s 49th overall regular-season title, the 15th time since the 1998-99 season the Wildcats have been named the overall preseason favorite.
Calipari, who is in his eleventh season at Kentucky, has led the Wildcats to regular-season SEC titles in 2010, 2012, 2015, 2016 and 2017, with UK also claiming SEC Tournament title six times in that span in 2010, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
In addition to the SEC preseason poll, three Kentucky Wildcats were selected to preseason All-SEC teams.
