Kentucky Wildcats Ranked No. 10 After Duke Win

After a significant win against Duke, Kentucky has received multiple accolades, including being named Dick Vitale's Team of the Week and climbing in various national rankings, now sitting at No. 4 in Jon Rothstein's power rankings. In contrast, Duke faced a challenging game against South Dakota State, winning 75-71, with standout performances from Jadyn Donovan, who scored 23 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Despite boasting a highly talented roster, Duke's head coach Jon Scheyer has faced challenges in managing player rotations, often utilizing a deep bench in less competitive games but shrinking it during tighter matchups, as seen in their recent loss to Kentucky. Notably, freshmen Isaiah Evans and Darren Harris remained on the bench during Duke's defeat, prompting questions about their roles moving forward. Duke's upcoming game against No. 9 Arizona will test their depth further, as Scheyer seeks the right balance in rotation for competitive situations.
