Kentucky WBB drops in AP Top 25 Poll update after 1-2 week

After posting a 1-2 record last week, Kentucky women’s basketball slipped in the national rankings.

On Monday, Kentucky checked in at No. 14 in the updated Associated Press Top 25, a six-spot drop from last week when the Wildcats were ranked No. 8 for the first since the 2015-16 season.

It was a rare three-game week for Kenny Brooks‘ Wildcats, which lost to Ole Miss on the road Monday and No. 2 Texas at home Thursday before bouncing back to beat Georgia by 29 points on Sunday. Another important stretch is coming up too as Kentucky tries to build a winning streak. UK will be on the road Thursday against Missouri before returning home to host No. 7 LSU on Sunday for Senior Day. Only four games remain on UK’s regular season schedule, three coming against ranked opponents.

Check out the latest Top 25 below. Kentucky is one of seven SEC schools listed in this week’s update.
