Kentucky has dropped out of the CBS Sports Top 25 (and one) rankings following losses to South Carolina and Florida.
Florida beat Kentucky 66-64 inside Rupp Arena on Saturday to drop the Wildcats’ record to 14-5 overall and 4-3 in the SEC. Consequently, UK is now outside of the top 30 at KenPom for the first time since it lost Nerlens Noel to a torn ACL and spiraled into the 2013 NIT. So things clearly aren’t going as planned with this team that was ranked fifth in the preseason AP poll.
Kentucky is 2-2 against top-50 KenPom teams with two sub-50 losses.
