By Mrs. Tyler Thompson | December 16, 2019 | 2:00pm |

It’s official: Kentucky is the No. 6 team in both major polls. After jumping two spots in the AP Poll, the Cats jumped three spots in the Coaches Poll, coming in just outside the top five of Kansas, Gonzaga, Duke, Ohio State, and Louisville. The Cats, Virginia, Maryland, Auburn, and Oregon make up the rest of the top ten.

    Duke has not played in 10 days (and still won’t for another 3), and in that time jumped from #8 to #3.

      It may have something to do with strength of schedule. Duke is rated #1 on the “Team Rankings” website. We are ranked 93rd, but that will soon change.

    I’m just curious, but am I the only person on here that cannot get this site to perform the way it used too?
    For a site this popular it’s ridiculous the amount of errors that occur. Since this site was ‘updated’ recently it’s been all down hill.

      I get a lot of strange errors.

      Like when I click on expand, the bottom half disappears. Then I click the expand button a couple more times and it finally works.

      Odd.

    But software updates are always screwy especially when it’s a MAC interfacing with Microsoft.
