Kentucky slides down one spot in new Coaches Poll
Did you know it’s now called the Ferris Mowers Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports? That’s a big play for Ferris Mowers but way too many words, so we’re still calling it the USA Today Coaches Poll around here.
In today’s USA Today Coaches Poll, the coaching panel voted Kentucky the No. 13 team in America. The Wildcats were ranked 12th last week before the loss at Auburn.
Speaking of Auburn, Bruce Pearl’s Tigers did not take over the No. 1 spot in the Coaches Poll, as they did in the AP. Gonzaga remained first overall in the eyes of the coaches this week.
