Kentucky Women Jump Into the Top 10 of the Coaches Poll

The coaches noticed, BBN.

Kenny Brooks' Kentucky women jumped four spots, from No. 14 to No. 10, in Tuesday's Week 2 USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. The Wildcats are 3-0 and picked up 465 points, sitting just behind No. 9 LSU and ahead of No. 11 Notre Dame.

The move comes one day after Kentucky climbed to No. 12 in the AP Top 25, and it follows a statement win: 93-78 over then-No. 25 NC State in Charlotte, where Ajsa Sivka poured in 32 points with eight 3-pointers, tying Rhyne Howard's program record, and Clara Strack added 24. NC State dropped out of the poll after that one.

Next up: Evansville at Memorial Coliseum on Wednesday, 6:30 PM ET on SEC Network+.
