Final Bracketology Update for Kentucky as Selection Sunday Approaches<\/p>\n
The Wildcats remain on track for a 3-seed, though there is a possibility they could be relegated to a 4-seed.<\/p>\n
Kentucky ended the regular season strong, securing the 6-seed in the SEC Tournament. With the conference expected to have several double-digit bids and multiple top-10 teams, the Wildcats did well to secure some form of bye in the competition. They defeated Oklahoma in their opener but were eliminated by Alabama in the quarterfinals on Friday night.<\/p>\n
With two wins over Tennessee and a victory over the top-ranked Duke Blue Devils, Kentucky has positioned itself well for Selection Sunday. Prior to the SEC Tournament, the Wildcats were firmly projected as a No. 3 seed.<\/p>\n
