LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Kentucky jumped two spots to #16 in this weeks Associated Press Top 25 men’s college basketball poll.
The Cats have won four straight games since a 66-62 loss at Notre Dame on December 11.
They are 11-2 and back on the road for the first time since that loss to the Irish and for just the second time this season at #21 LSU (12-1) on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
“Another statement game,” UK guard Davion Mintz said. “Try to get a really big road win. Obviously they’re a really good team and they play well at home, so just to go somewhere and win and prove that we can bounce back on the road, that would be big for us.”
LSU is 8-0 at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center this season.
