Welcome in, ladies and gentlemen, to episode 19 of the Memorial MMO, KSRs, Kentucky Women's Basketball podcast, brought to you by our friends over at Friends of Col.

Katie, big episode.

Again, it feels like the episode, it's just more and more important because we're talking about more important stuff.

But before we get into all of it, Katie, just how are you doing today?

Feeling pretty good, especially with where Kentucky is placed in the SEC tournament bracket

and all the stuff going on coming up this March.

I'm very excited.

Yeah, and there's obviously that's what we got to get to, right?

But of course, to start, you know, just like every episode, some ranking stuff.

And the AP poll, Kentucky, leaps three spots to number 12.

I think this is about right for Kentucky right now.

Maybe you could see them above a certain team, maybe not.

But, Katie, I don't think I can argue with number 12 a whole lot.

No, especially with how close they stayed with South Carolina.

I think the number 12 is not necessarily generous.

I think it's right.

And I think that because Kentucky played so good against one of the best teams in the nation,

they kind of proved their spot.

And then in the net, Katie, Kentucky was down at 22 and they went up to 20 and now they're

at number 19.

So they keep climbing in the net.

Eight of the top 20 teams in the SEC are all, you know, top 20 in the net.
