7. Kentucky Wildcats

Previous Ranking: 4

Record: 18-4 (8-1 SEC)

Kansas took two straight losses to Tennessee and Kansas last week but managed to hold on for an overtime victory over Georgia on Tuesday. A big showdown with ranked Florida is next for Coach Calipari’s Wildcats.

Malik Monk might have taken over the national POY conversation after scoring 37 points against the Bulldogs. He is easily one of the most dynamic players in the country this year and has been thrilling to watch. Isaiah Briscoe also factored in heavily with 23 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists. I’ve no doubt that this team is Final Four-caliber as the top SEC program.
