Kentucky Basketball‘s return to the Top 25 was short-lived as the Wildcats fell out of both polls after two weeks in the rankings. Kentucky received 39 voting points in the AP this week but dropped from No. 23 to unranked following the loss to Vandy in Nashville.

In the Coaches Poll, voters gave Kentucky 29 votes, landing the Wildcats two spots outside the Top 25.

The polls are split at No. 1 as the AP picked Alabama in the March Madness update while the coaches named Houston its top team on Sunday.
