Kentucky still unranked in new AP College Basketball Top 25
Kentucky Basketball will need to stack together two more wins to regain some love from AP Top 25 voters. This week, the Associated Press did not consider Kentucky one of its 25 best teams, but the Wildcats did earn mention among other teams that received votes, earning three points in that category.
Up top, Purdue is your new No. 1 team where the Boilermakers passed Houston and Kansas for the top spot. Houston and Kansas each lost games over the weekend.
Alabama is up to second behind the Boilermakers, two places ahead of Tennessee’s five-spot climb to fourth.
See it all below.
