Kentucky dropped out of these Power Rankings back on Dec. 4, following a 5-3 start. A day later, the Wildcats lost by 35 points to Gonzaga in Nashville, and it looked like the wheels were falling off.

Less than three weeks later, Mark Pope's team returns to the mix. Kentucky has won four straight games, all by double-figures, including 12-point victories over Indiana and St. John's.

More importantly, the Wildcats are as close to full health as we've seen all season -- and a complete Kentucky roster looks very much like a top-25 team, if the second half against the Red Storm last Saturday is any indication.
