College Basketball is in full swing as conference play is just a few short weeks away.
Through eight non-conference games, the Kentucky Wildcats are 7-1 on the season and ranked 8th in the AP Poll.
The season got off to an outstanding start when the Cats took down then-ranked No. 1 Michigan State on opening night, but a shocking loss to Evansville at Rupp Arena back on Nov. 12th have forced Kentucky to prove themselves each time they take the floor.
With no more cupcakes on the schedule, Kentucky will now be tested each and every time they take the floor.
If the Wildcats can get some key wins expect them to climb up in the polls.
