The Kentucky Wildcats went 2-0 yet again this week as they defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks on the road and then returned home for a win over the Florida Gators.

The Cats had a scare on Saturday when TyTy Washington went down with an injury, but it seems like we can expect to have him back in the future.

This week saw No. 1 Auburn lose to Arkansas on the road and No. 3 Purdue went to Michigan and lost 82-58. The Cats did move up to No. 4 in the AP Poll with Purdue dropping to No. 5. Kentucky is up to No. 3 in the Coaches Poll.

Gonzaga is the new No. 1 overall team in the AP Poll and remained No. 1 in the Coaches Poll.

This week will not be easy for the Cats as they travel on Tuesday to face Tennessee, who is playing really well right now. Then on Saturday the Cats will get their 2^nd matchup against Alabama.
