Kentucky is the new No. 1 team in the AP Top 25

As expected, Kentucky is the new No. 1 team in the country. The Cats took over the top spot from Michigan State following Tuesday’s 69-62 win in the Champions Classic and Friday night’s rout of Eastern Kentucky. Duke, Michigan State, Louisville, and Kansas round out the top five.

Kentucky received 64 first-place votes, with the only other one going to…the Cards. December 28 is going to a lot of fun.
