Kentucky Women Climb to No. 12, Men Slip to No. 24 in Latest Top 25

Two polls, two directions for Kentucky hoops this week, BBN.

Kenny Brooks' women are moving up. After a 3-0 start capped by a historic night against NC State, Kentucky jumped from No. 14 to No. 12 in the Week 2 AP Top 25. That's a team that's earning attention fast.

On the men's side, Mark Pope's Cats are 2-0 but slid one spot, from No. 23 to No. 24 in the AP poll, and they're among the teams receiving votes in the Coaches Poll. Early-season polls are mostly noise, and there's a quick way to change the conversation: Kansas is up next on Tuesday night at the United Center, 9:30 PM ET on ESPN.
