14. Kentucky Wildcats

Previous Ranking: 7

Record: 19-5 (9-2 SEC)

Kentucky takes another tumble in our top 25 after getting hammered at Florida by 20. That makes three losses in four games dating back to the shocking upset at Tennessee two weeks ago. Thankfully, Calipari and company got a horrible LSU squad to rebound.

Almost nobody was impressive against the Gators last week. De’Aaron Fox had 19 off the bench after a one-game absence, but Malik Monk was the only other Wildcat in double digits with 11. Isaiah Briscoe had a rough game in particular with just six points on 3-of-10 shooting; that performance was a far cry from his 14-point per game average. Kentucky is still great, but three losses in four games is a weird trend entering the final stretch of the regular season.
