The Kentucky Wildcats are still trying to get healthy as the postseason quickly approaches, and luckily they sit in a pretty good spot heading into the final two weeks. We all saw the Cats make the th3ree-seed line during the first top-16 reveal a few weeks back, and according to the Bracket Matrix, Mark Pope’s first Kentucky team is sitting firmly on that line still.
Let’s take a look at a few of the highlights.
The majority of those trying to project the brackets have the Cats sitting anywhere from a 2-seed all the way down to the 5-seed line. Joe Lunardi and ESPN currently have Kentucky on the 3-seed line while Jerry Palm and CBS have UK as a 4-seed entering the final weeks.
Then you have some people who aren’t as high of Kentucky’s resume, like Fox Sports, who has the team sitting on the 5-seed line.
Overall the final two weeks give some major opportunities. Go 3-1, and you are firmly sticking at the 3-seed line it appears. Include a possible win over No. 1 Auburn in these three wins, and this team has a good shot of maybe making a jump to the 2-seed line with a decent run in Nashville.
Going to be fun to watch these next few weeks to track where the Cats could end up.
