Kentucky’s impressive win over a ranked Vanderbilt team last weekend has the Wildcats’ NCAA Tournament status trending in the right direction.
New bracket projections have been spawning all across the interwebs this week. The vast majority of them have Kentucky viewed as a 6-seed or a 7-seed. ESPN’s Joe Lunardi moved the ‘Cats up to a 6-seed on Monday with a first-round showdown against the undefeated Miami (OH) RedHawks. Other outlets, such as The Athletic, CBS Sports, and Andy Katz of NCAA.com, also list UK as a 6-seed going into the final stretch of the regular season schedule.
