Kentucky WBB slotted in at No. 16 in AP Poll following 30-point win at Purdue

With a 42-point victory over Queens and then a 30-point victory at Purdue, one would figure that Kentucky would rise at least a little bit in this week’s AP Poll after coming in at No. 16 just a week ago, especially considering that some teams above them took some losses as well.

Kentucky would end up being slotted in at No. 16 in the latest AP Poll, however, meaning that the Cats wouldn’t move a single spot in this week’s poll.

South Carolina (2) and LSU (5) are the SEC teams in the Top 5, and Texas (6) and Oklahoma (10) each made the Top 10. Tennssee (18) and Ole Miss (25) are the other SEC programs to make the Top 25.

Here is the full AP Top 25:

1. UCLA
2. South Carolina
3. Notre Dame
4. UConn
5. LSU
6. Texas
7. USC
8. Maryland
9. Duke
10. Oklahoma
11. Ohio State
12. TCU
13. Kansas State
14. West Virginia
15. Michigan State
16. Kentucky
17. Georgia Tech
18. Tennessee
19. North Carolina
20. Michigan
21. NC State
22. Iowa
23. Nebraska
24. Cal
25. Ole Miss

Next up on the schedule is Belmont (5-5, 0-0 MVC). This should serve as a good opportunity for Kentucky to add another non-conference win to their resume before SEC play begins at the start of the new year.
