2025 Tournament PreviewIn Kentucky's first year since 2008-09 without John Calipari at the helm, former BYU coach Mark Pope led Big Blue to a solid 10-8 SEC record, with non-conference wins against Duke, Gonzaga and Louisville. Pope re-tooled quickly, grabbing all his starters from the transfer portal. Leading scorer Otega Oweh (16.2 ppg) topped 20 points in six of the last nine games and 6-7 guard Koby Brea (11.5 ppg) shoots a team-high 43.9 percent from long range. The Wildcats rank eighth in offensive efficiency (per KenPom), playing at a top-25 tempo. Defensively, Kentucky struggles on the interior, ranking 289th in opponent two-point shooting, despite the presence of 7-0 Amari Williams (11.0 ppg, 8.5 rpg) in the middle. The Wildcats also lost three-point sharpshooter Jaxson Robinson to a wrist injury and are still without senior guard Kerr Kriisa (foot). But with 11 Quad 1 wins and no bad losses, Kentucky is more than capable of making a run.
