The 2025-26 Kentucky women’s basketball team will start the season ranked inside the Top 25. The voters in the USA Today Coaches Poll are a little bit kinder than AP voters.
Kentucky was ranked No. 24 in the media poll. The Wildcats are four spots higher in the Coaches Poll at No. 20.
During Kenny Brooks’ first season, the Wildcats rose as high as No. 8 in the country. Even though Georgia Amoore moved on to the WNBA, Kentucky is still huge inside, returning 46.7 percent of its scoring and 70.
