Online sportsbook has the Kentucky Wildcats as the only unbeaten team in college basketball. The Wildcats have risen to #1 in the latest ESPN/USA Today coaches’ poll. On the other side of that sportsbook equation is North Carolina who is unranked for the first time since 2006.
Online sportsbook has Kentucky facing South Carolina on Tuesday in their first game as the top ranked team in the country. Kentucky was a unanimous choice in the poll for the top spot. They are followed by Kansas, Villanova, Syracuse and Michigan State. The talk now at the online sportsbook is whether or not Kentucky can remain unbeaten all season. It has not been since 1976 since a team completed a perfect season. It probably won’t happen but the Wildcats are getting better each week. They destroyed Arkansas on Saturday, easily covering the odds at the online sportsbook. Kentucky head coach John Calipari is now one of only two coaches in history, Frank McGuire being the other, to take three different teams to the top spot in the polls. Calipari coached Memphis and Massachusetts to #1 rankings. “I’m just trying to tell our guys it’s not a burden, it’s a badge of honor. It’s something to take pride in, but now there’s a bigger bull’s-eye,” Calipari said,
The Wildcats play in the SEC and that conference is a notch below the Big East and Big 10 at the online sportsbook. The Big East is extremely good this sportsbook season. Villanova is ranked third and Syracuse is ranked fourth. Those two teams meet late next month at Syracuse in online sportsbook action.
Texas was #1 in the country last week but they had two online sportsbook losses to fall to #6. They were tough places to play though as Texas lost at Kansas State and at Connecticut in sportsbook results. The Longhorns are only the third team in history to lose twice in the same week as the #1 team.
Duke is at #7 in the poll and they are followed by Gonzaga, West Virginia and BYU. The Cougars have the second longest winning streak in the nation at 15 straight as sportsbook stats indicate. Only Kentucky’s 19-game wining streak is longer. Georgetown is up to #11 while Purdue is 12th. They are followed by Kansas State, Tennessee, Temple, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, Butler, Connecticut, Mississippi, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Ohio State and Northern Iowa.
