Kentucky basketball had a rough weekend. They suffered their second straight loss in brutal way at Vanderbilt, 74-69, while turning the ball over 17 times. A poor performance cost the Cats three spots in the most recent Associated Press Top 25 poll. The Wildcats are ranked 12th this week, down from ninth last week. This mirrors their standing in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. They are the SEC’s fifth highest-ranked team.
The Auburn Tigers are once again in first place in the SEC and nationally. The Alabama Crimson Tide and Florida Gators are both ranked in the top five. This week’s rankings include ten teams from the conference. Two more people voted. The Wildcats conclude January with a game against the Tennessee Volunteers, who are ranked in the top 10. Then they’ll face former coach John Calipari and the Arkansas Razorbacks.
