How Kentucky’s SEC opponents are doing this season
Kentucky opens conference play with Ole Miss tomorrow night in Oxford. With 18 SEC games on the slate, how are Kentucky’s conference foes doing this season? I’m glad you asked, because I spent most of my day rifling through the rancid dumpster that is SEC Basketball to bring you this overview.
[For comparison’s sake Kentucky is currently ninth in the RPI (NCAA’s website) and fourth in Ken Pomeroy’s ratings.]
