Big Blue Madness is less than two months away and Kentucky basketball season will be here before we know it.

Kentucky returns a lot of experience from last season’s team and John Calipari added elite transfers to a roster that should be significantly improved from the one that took the floor in 2020-21.

Gary Parrish of CBS Sports released his latest early Top 25 after Emoni Bates announced his commitment to Memphis Wednesday.

Kentucky checks in at No. 14 in Parrish’s latest rankings, making them the third highest-rated team in the SEC in his rankings. Arkansas (8) and Alabama (12) are ahead of Kentucky. Tennessee (20) and Auburn (22) are the other SEC teams Parrish included on the list.

Below is the Top 10:

  1. Gonzaga
  2. UCLA
  3. Texas
  4. Kansas
  5. Villanova
  6. Michigan
  7. Memphis
  8. Duke
  9. Baylor
  10. Arkansas
