Preseason Prediction: 8th in the SEC

Current Record: 14-3

This Wildcats team is another example of how roster turnover via the transfer portal can result in immediate success. Mark Pope brought in a collection of dudes who match perfectly with what he desires from an offensive perspective. It has resulted in a team that’s No. 8 in the nation.

Bigs who can pass, wings who can shoot and a point guard who can produce on both ends of the floor will always result in wins. Also, the Wildcats’ depth is truly something special. Their defense may be questioned at times. But, there is no doubt that players like Lamont Butler, Otega Oweh and Amari Williams give Kentucky the tools to be better defensively.
