ESPN still has Kentucky at No. 6 in their updated Power Rankings this week.
Duke is now No. 1 in the rankings, while Tennessee falls to No. 2.
Here’s an excerpt about the Wildcats:
6. Kentucky Wildcats (20-3)
Previous ranking: 6
This week: vs. LSU (Tuesday), vs. Tennessee (Saturday)
Kentucky is not that far from a 1-seed in projected brackets, something that was impossible to see coming five weeks ago. The Wildcats have seven Quadrant 1 wins at the moment, tied for the third most in the country. They’ve beaten North Carolina, Kansas and Louisville. There’s a huge chance for John Calipari’s team on Saturday, when Tennessee and its 18-game winning streak come to town.
