The newly anointed Kentucky Wildcats took the court as the #1 team in the nation for the 20th time in the last 22 poles, and for the 114th time overall. Only UCLA (134) and Duke (127) have been in the #1 spot more times. Kentucky ended up pulling away late for the 20 point win, highlighted by another Alex Poythress Double-Double.
Poythress had 14 points and 10 rebounds plus a lot of rim abuse, he keeps inching toward 100% health and he was exactly what Coach Cal wants him to be last night.
