Kentucky is set to face its second consecutive top-five opponent on the road on Saturday, as the Wildcats are set to face the No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks at 6 p.m. ET. The head-to-head battle comes just one week after UK fell at Auburn, who is now the No. 1 team in college basketball.
Kansas enters the game ranked No. 3 overall in offensive efficiency, one spot ahead of Kentucky at No. 4. Only Purdue (No. 1) and Gonzaga (No. 2) sit ahead of the Jayhawks and Wildcats on offense. Defensively, though, Kansas comes in ranked No. 49 overall, while Kentucky sits at No.
