The play of Kentucky Wildcats freshman point guard Ashton Hagans has been sensational to watch unfold. His team’s play over the last week has seized recognition as well.
In the latest CBS Sports College Basketball Power Rankings, the Wildcats climbed to the 13th spot. Last week, Kentucky ranked just 16th after blowing a halftime lead at Alabama and losing in a nail-biter.
Kentucky’s climb into the top-15 was expected after winning three-straight games while many top-25 teams have lost. The improvements are there, and the optimism surrounding this team is rising as we inch closer toward March.
