The men’s basketball season is down to its final games to be played before conference tournaments, and the Bracketology predictions are getting closer to being correct. For the Kentucky Wildcats, there’s one regular season game left, and then the SEC Tournament to improve their seeding.
The Wildcats are playing well right now, having won six of their last seven games, including wins over a couple of ranked teams. The defense has played better, but still struggles at times. However, the offense has been nearly unstoppable.
USA TODAY Sports has Kentucky as a four seed in the East Region against Samford in round one. Connecticut is the top seed in that region, with Iowa State as the number two seed.
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi also has the Wildcats seeded at number four in the Midwest Region. Purdue would be the top seed in this case.
In the CBS prediction, Kentucky is a five seed in the West Region. Tennessee and Arizona are the top two seeds in this case. Interestingly, Iowa State is in the same bracket as the Cats in all three cases.
The final games will be meaningful and could change Kentucky’s seeding drastically. They could go as high as a two seed with a win against the Volunteers and then an SEC Tournament run. It will be a big final week for the Wildcats and their fans.
