Winning works wonders. Kentucky struggled to secure big wins early in non-conference play, but after a couple of successful Saturdays against non-conference foes, the Wildcats have climbed into the Top 25 of the NET Rankings.
Following the loss to Gonzaga, Kentucky was No. 39 in the NET Rankings without a Quad 1 win. They rose to No. 27 with a win over Indiana and are now up to No. 23 following the victory over St. John’s.
The St. John’s win is a Quad 1 victory. Unfortunately, Indiana isn’t helping out the Cats. The Hoosiers slid out of the Top 3, making that a Quad 2 win.
