Monday Headlines: Kentucky in the College Basketball Rankings

Kentucky Basketball is coming off quite a week of success, dominating Oklahoma last Wednesday before pulling off another epic comeback to sweep the season series against No. 25 Tennessee on Saturday.

The Wildcats now sit alone in second place in the Southeastern Conference standings at 8-3 with 8-2 Florida the only team ahead of them. Ironically enough, Kentucky’s next matchup is scheduled for this coming Saturday in a showdown with the No. 17 Gators for first place in the standings.

As of now, head coach Mark Pope and his team — according to ESPN’s Basketball Power Index — have just a 21.3% chance of winning in Gainesville. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 PM ET with coverage on ABC.

Kentucky has won eight of nine games after dropping back-to-back outings to begin conference play. They currently sit at No. 28 in each of the DRatings, EvanMiya, and Haslametrics rankings.

For women’s coach Kenny Brooks and his team, they are sitting at No. 16 in the Top-25 but are coming off a tough one-point loss at home to No. 7 Vanderbilt on Thursday. The Wildcats have lost 4 of their last 5 but have a golden opportunity to make a statement tonight with a potential bounce-back win at No. 4 Texas.

Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET with coverage on the SEC Network.
