Kentucky women drop six places in AP basketball rankings
The University of Kentucky women’s basketball team dropped six spots in the latest Associated Press poll released Monday.
Kentucky moved from No. 12 to No. 18 after Southeastern Conference losses last week to Vanderbilt and Florida.
The path ahead gets no easier for the Wildcats (15-5 overall, 4-5 SEC), who visit No. 2 South Carolina (21-0, 9-0) on Thursday night.
Louisville, which has won 14 games in a row after a 3-5 start, moved from No. 14 last week to No. 13 this week.
