Earlier today, the AP and USA Today Coaches polls were released and Kentucky was proclaimed the new number one team in the country. In his press conference this afternoon, assistant coach John Robic downplayed the ranking, telling reporters “it doesn’t mean a whole lot.”
“Not to make a big deal of it,” Robic said when asked how he’d encourage the players to respond to the ranking. “It’s November, but it’s great. I think that’s five of the seven years we’ve been here at some point in time we’ve had that honor. It’s kind of a neat thing, to be honest with you, for each team that we’ve had here to have a grasp of that.
