The Kentucky Wildcats (1) were able to put their close call against LSU behind them with a 77-43 shellacking of South Carolina to stay the unanimous number-one team in the Associated Press College Basketball Poll.

In 12 games against the SEC, Kentucky has five wins that have come by single digits and their last two came in back-to-back games against Florida and LSU. But playing at home Saturday, the Wildcats were back to their dominant selves.

The win also moved Kentucky to 25-0, which ties them for the best start in school history. They will go for the record 26th win on the road against Tennessee Tuesday night.

"A lot of us didn't even know about the record," sophomore point guard Andrew Harrison said in a postgame press conference, according to the AP. "We're just trying to take it one game at a time and win every game that we play. It doesn't matter if we don't finish it out right. We just have to stay focused."

In week 15 of the AP rankings, only one team in the top 10 moved anywhere, as Utah (9) climbed two spots. Two through eight was Virginia, Gonzaga, Duke, Wisconsin, Villanova, Arizona and Kansas, with Notre Dame rounding it out.

But throughout the top 25, only two teams moved at least five spots, with Arkansas (18) rising six places and Virginia Commonwealth (25) falling five. No teams fell from the ranking; therefore there were no new entries.

With just three weeks to go and six games remaining, Kentucky could be the first Division I men's team since the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers to go undefeated.
