It’s the day after the Super Bowl, which means for a good chunk of the sports world, now it’s college basketball season. Teams across the country are polishing up their resumes as they enter the critical homestretch of the season in conference play. Selection Sunday is less than five weeks and Kentucky has positioned itself nicely near the top of the SEC.
The Wildcats stumbled in non-conference play, but have rebounded by winning eight of the last nine games. Kentucky is now just a half-game behind Florida in the SEC standings with an 8-3 record in league play.
