Kentucky went 1-1 in the final week of the regular season, squeaking by Auburn 63-56 on the road and then concluding things in a hard-fought battle against South Carolina that resulted in a four-point loss. We saw Kentucky not get punished at all by falling to Vanderbilt in the final 10 seconds, so it wouldn’t have been outlandish to assume the AP voters might do the same with the loss to the Gamecocks.
Following Thursday’s and Sunday’s games, Kentucky sits at No. 17 in the latest AP Poll, falling one spot from last week.
In total, there are eight total teams from the SEC in the AP top 25, with five teams from the conference being in the top seven. Next up, Kentucky heads to Greenville, SC to, hopefully, make a run against some of those teams.
