In just five days, Kentucky men's basketball will take on the top-ranked team in the country up in Chicago. The Wildcats will face its first true test of the 2023-24 season against No. 1 Kansas on Tuesday night -- only the third game of the regular season for this young Kentucky group. You couldn't ask for a better litmus test for mid-November basketball.

With that in mind, it would be easy for John Calipari's group to get ahead of themselves.
