A look at where Kentucky stands in the latest college basketball rankings and analytics.

As expected, Kentucky basketball didn’t move much in the latest college hoops rankings.

The AP Top 25 Poll still has Kentucky at No. 10. Florida is up to No. 5.
The Coaches Poll actually dropped Kentucky to No. 11 and has the Gators at No. 5.
ESPN’s most recent power rankings have the Cats at No. 8 and Florida at No. 6.
KenPom has Kentucky at No. 26, Florida at No. 7, and Brown at No. 191.
DRatings has the Cats at No. 27, the Gators at No. 4, and Brown at No. 164.
BartTorvik has Kentucky at No. 20, Florida at No. 6, and Brown at No. 166.
Finally, the NET rankings have dropped Kentucky all the way down to No. 24. Florida is at No. 4, while Brown is at No. 156.

Sound off in the comments section on where you think the Cats should be ranked this week!

After more than a week off, the Kentucky Wildcats return to action tomorrow for their final game of the 2024 calendar year.

The Wildcats will face Brown in Rupp Arena, where they are considerable favorites to win.

Coming off of a disappointing loss and having extra time to work out offensive kinks both indicate that fans will see a locked-in Kentucky team from when the ball is tipped to when the game ends.

It’s the team’s last chance to find any sort of rhythm before they start to see a Top-25 team almost every other game when Southeastern Conference play begins next week.

Speaking of Top-25 rankings, the Wildcats sit at No. 18 in ESPN’s Basketball Power Index Rankings, No. 19 in the EvanMiya Rankings, No. 25 at DRatings, and No. 31 in the Haslametrics rankings.

Jerry Palm, however, is clearly still high on the Wildcats by ranking them No. 9 on his list.
