This is the best Kentucky team since 2020.

I don't think I'd go quite that far. The 2021-2022 UK team was a #2 seed (who was upset by St. Peter'...who ironically also ended McMahon's Murray State's team's run in the tournament). That team was better than this Kentucky team...even though this team might go further in the NCAAT.

Still, no one should discount the win.

"Good" is relative. But they certainly became a better team. No one can rationally dispute that.

We all hope so, but things can change rapidly in this age of college basketball. Where the program is headed will depend on who McMahon can retain from his current roster and who he can add from the portal. Optimistically, LSU takes the next jump up like Florida did this season. But if the roster is gutted, they could be looking at a significant step back like Vanderbilt took this year after having a better conference performance last year than LSU did this season.

It's too early to make any predictions about next year's team.
