One of the top analytical tools, the Evan Miya Rankings, has placed Kentucky as the eighth-best team in the nation, highlighting their elite efficiency on both offense and defense.
But there’s even more good news for Wildcats fans. According to the Evan Miya Rankings, Kentucky’s starting five ranks as the ninth-best lineup in all of college basketball. The combination of Lamont Butler, Otega Oweh, Jaxson Robinson, Andrew Carr, and Amari Williams is considered one of the most effective in the country.
