UK has won 8 titles on 12 trips to the Championship game.

However UK is just under .500 on winning the title when reaching the Final Four.

8 titles 17 trips.

Not sure about UK. Hoping their best days aren’t behind them.
Based on my googling and Rival sources here is, I hope, next years roster:

UK 2025-26 Roster
Returning Roster
Collin Chandler6'5"SGSoph
Brandon Garrison6'11"CJunior
Trent Noah6'5"SFSoph
Otega Oweh6'4"SFSenior
Incoming High School Recruits
Jasper Johnson6'4"PGFreshman
Malachi Moreno6'11"CFreshman
TransfersFrom:
Denzel Aberdeen6'5"GSeniorFlorida
Mouhamed Dioubate6'7"PFJuniorAlabama
Andrija Jelavic6'11"PFFreshmanCroatia
Jaland Lowe6'3"PGJuniorPitt
Reece Potter7'1"CJuniorMiama (OH)
Jayden Quaintance6'9"PF/CSophAZ State
Kam Williams6'8"G/FSophTulane

If you find any errors please let me know so that I can update my spreadsheet.

What I like about next years team is that Chandler and Noah really started to improve late in the year. They both play taller than 6'5" and both can shoot the three and free throws.

Garrison gives UK strength under the board and hopefully can learn to improve his shooting over the summer. We all know about Oweh, he is going to be really good again.

I know nothing about the freshmen and little about the transfers. But I do remember that Aberdeen was pretty good role player at Florida and I loved Dioubate at Alabama. I know little about the others.

Jasper Johnson will remind you a lot of Rob Dillingham. He can score at will from anywhere on the court. He's going to be fun watching in Pope's offense. He also takes great pride in defense.

You got a jewel in Mo Dioubate, he is great defensive scrapper and is an underrated scorer. We will miss him.

In these Wild Wild West days of college basketball who in the hell knows what kind of team you will have until they play against some perennial good teams.
I think Bama could be a contender this year but probably just wishful thinking.......who knows
