UK is a team that had a lot of potential of being great as their preseason #1 reflected, and now that they are playing better people are starting to recognize their high ceiling.
Not to mention the SEC tourney. They played very well and barely lost to Florida in the championship game.

They've played six solid games in a row. That's not just a few games, and not overreacting, especially when the team has as much talent as anyone in the country and were preseason #1.
